For over 17 years, Andrew has helped bring new technologies to market in an evolving digital landscape. Uniting teams of engineers and creative strategists in 2012, Howlett oversaw RAIN's evolution into a digital consultancy that is recognized for its pioneering work in voice-driven technologies and experiences. At the end of 2018, Andrew exited RAIN after an acquisition, but immediately jumped into the role as CEO and largest shareholder of Struck, a creative agency. As a serial entrepreneur himself, Howlett drives business into the future as a member of organizations including YEC, SoDA, and YPO, and sits on the board of multiple community businesses in Utah. Andrew has been married for 23 years to a patient wife and has three amazing children who put up with him acting more like a peer and less of an adult figure! Andrew loves football (American of course!), scuba diving, golf, waterskiing and pretty much any warm beach anywhere.

Members of Young Entrepreneur Council share some important insights every entry-level tech candidate should know before joining the field.
As a business owner, you know your company can't remain stagnant and stuck in its ways if it hopes to grow. That growth requires innovation and creativity, both of which are best sourced from everyone on your team.
The only way a business can garner new customers and retain current ones is by laying out the benefits that its product or services present to the consumer. In the past, all it took was a flashy headline and a few bullet points that punched home the usefulness of the product or service. Today's world has evolved to a point where traditional advertising no longer makes the same impact. Even newer, more modern methods of advertising are having a hard time getting traction among some demographics.
