Danny Manson

Owner and Creative Director

I founded Excelsior Creative Solutions in August 2016. With a decade of experience on the client side in higher education, direct marketing, and the print industry, I decided to parlay the skills and experience I’ve acquired into a practice where I can work with a diverse group of clients.

I attended Marquette University, earning both a bachelor and master of arts in Communications, and have worked in the field in Milwaukee, New York, and Chicago. Currently, I live in the Milwaukee area with my wife Beccah and daughter Audrey.

As a native of New York City, I borrowed the motto from my great home state’s seal for my company name. Excelsior translates to “ever upward” or “higher,” and that’s the mindset I use in my work – striving higher to bring my clients' creative to the next level.
