Michael Burke

After graduating from Penn State University with a B.A. in English, Mike began his career in business-to-business technology sales, learning how to close deals and, most importantly, developing thick skin. He then took on an operations and management role at a marketing firm, where he recognized a gap in the company’s capabilities and began to teach himself to design, code, and build websites while handling the day-to-day company operations and managing client relationships.

Discovering his passion for design and technology and building up a web design and UX work portfolio, Mike spent the next six years at Comcast, fulfilling various roles on the Digital and e-commerce teams, from UX designer to front-end developer to his final role as a Senior Art Director. After transitioning into management consulting, he was on the road for three years, working with enterprise-level companies such as Microsoft, Aon, and Vanguard and expanding his skill set from digital and web to organizational strategy and management.

Combining his experience across various industries with an opportunity to serve small and medium-sized companies, Mike founded Advsry, a digital strategy consulting firm, in 2019. He lives outside of Philadelphia, with his wife, Cara, and daughters Bryn and Ava. He spends his free time on the golf course, enjoying espresso martinis and stressing about Philadelphia sports.
