Barbara Wilson

Barbara Wilson has 30 years of local radio and television sales and marketing experience and has also enjoyed creating campaign concepts for television stations in the U.S.  Barbara began her career as a sales account executive for a COX station in Charlotte, and then moved to Chicago to sell for the ABC O&O, WLS-TV.  Her favorite stories include conversations with Oprah, before she was “the” Oprah. 

After leaving ABC, Barbara joined Jefferson Pilot Retail Services as a consultant.  In 1990, she  formed her own company, Vision Communications, Inc.  For 18 years, Barbara worked with local television station sales staffs and helped them create new business revenue.  Her tag line, "We elevate your vision of the playing field,” came from her upper tier seats in the end zone at the Carolina Panthers stadium. 

In 2004, Barbara’s company phased out of the consulting business and created a turn-key, on-air sales campaign that tackled the issue of obesity.  An additional project is a campaign that incorporates her love of animals.

Throughout Barbara’s consulting career she heard of Jim Doyle, his reputation, and fantastic company.  When the opportunity to join the team was offered, Barbara saw a perfect avenue to combine Jim’s very successful marketing and sales formula with her ability to create by “seeing that playing field” from a different angle.

Barbara lives in Charlotte with her husband of 21 years and a 95lb. Labrador Retriever.  Barbara graduated from Stratford Women’s College, captains a USTA tennis team, organizes charity projects, likes to read and oil paint, and is thrilled to be a part of the Jim Doyle team.
