Clayton Clark

Co-Founder, V.P. of Business Development & Partnerships

After graduating from Murray State University with honors while also competing as an NCAA DI tennis player, Clayton started his professional career as a television reporter working at KXMC in North Dakota then KMPH in California. His work as a reporter earned him Emmy nominations as well as one viral YouTube video (We highly recommend watching the viral video).

In 2014 Clayton and his wife welcomed their first child which lead to a desire to work a more family-friendly schedule. His work on the digital side of television helped transition him to working in digital advertising.

By 2017, Clayton became one of the first Meta Certified adverting experts in the United States, putting Big Rush Marketing on the radar for many businesses struggling to succeed in the highly competitive and ever-changing digital landscape.

Clayton helped make Big Rush one of the first agencies in the world to be an expert certified Meta advertising agency and in 2023 he collaborated with Meta’s corporate team on improving one of the expert level Meta advertising exams.

On top of his work in Meta advertising, Clayton is Google Partner Certified and was recently named one of the Top St. Lousians To Know To Succeed in Business for the 2nd time (2019 & 2023).
