Scott Case is the Founder and Chief Storyteller of Position : Global, an award-winning global advertising agency led by a professional with decades of multidisciplinary supply chain experience and whose operational and management experience, industry knowledge and worldwide network allow he and the company to craft successful campaigns and programs with greater first-time accuracy and effectiveness than their competition.
Scott was born into logistics, his father having worked in the industry before his birth and when he was young, founding an American customs brokerage in the late 1970’s. Scott nearly pursued a career in customs and international law, instead choosing to join the business full-time immediately after graduating from Northwestern University in 1993. Within his first four months, Scott passed the notoriously difficult customs broker examination, securing his license the following April. Scott maintains his broker’s license and attends classes, webinars and conferences to remain educated and informed.
As a practicing customs broker, Scott’s responsibilities included all facets of entry filing and compliance. He served as the company’s FMC Qualifying Individual and Indirect Air Carrier Security Coordinator (IACSC), giving him a complete understanding of the needs of importers and exporters, engaging daily with every regulatory agency having jurisdiction over international trade between the United States and the rest of the world.
Scott served on the National Customs Broker and Forwarders Association of America’s board of directors for two terms and afterwards continued serving in capacities participating and leading committees on sea and air cargo issues. Scott also represented his company at independent freight forwarder association meetings around world, not only presenting to and educating logistics professionals from other countries on America’s processes, but also securing mutual business opportunities.
In 2012, recognizing that companies lacked experience and staffing to market themselves against much larger national and global competitors, Scott founded Position : Global. A creative thinker and problem solver, Scott’s ability to speak in the visual and written language of logistics has positioned P : G as a trusted agency; delivering marketing, advertising and communications differentiators.
While leading Position : Global, Scott became involved with the International Air Cargo Association of Chicago, first as a vendor and then in multiple elected capacities including board member, president and chairman of the board, the lattermost role through the end of 2023.
Scott is a sought-after thought leader, podcaster, speaker and frequent panel moderator and/or participant whose grasp of supply chains, emerging technologies and global affairs give Position : Global’s customers a significant advantage in their businesses. Scott’s lifetime of experience, coupled with his written and oral communication prowess, have led him to be retained as an expert witness on behalf of prosecution and defense teams in state and federal court.
When not working on or at the business, Scott enjoys exercising, cooking, collecting as much wine as his wife allows him to put on one not-large-enough rack and supporting his three children in their artistic and athletic endeavors. He also hopes to steadily increase his pickleball DUPR ranking and skills to stop being handily beaten by his high-school aged son. Scott lives with his wife, three children and three dogs in suburban Chicago.
