Ernie Harker
Billion Dollar Branding Expert and Professional Speaker
Ernie Harker is a brand-building powerhouse best known for transforming Maverik from an outdated western-themed convenience store into a $3B high-energy adventure brand. His contagious enthusiasm, bold creative thinking, and practical strategies have made him a leading voice for companies ready to stand out.
Ernie’s creativity started young, after his mom tossed the family TV, he poured himself into drawing. That passion led him to start his own marketing production company in 1995 and ultimately build a career rooted in art, storytelling, and fearless ideas.
Outside of branding, Ernie is all about adventure: mountain biking, wakeboarding, completing an IronMan, climbing Kilimanjaro, and creating art, including a children’s book he authored and illustrated. He loves time with his family and his seven brothers.
His new course, AI Marketing Accelerator, brings together his lifelong creativity and brand expertise to help others sharpen their message and amplify their ideas using AI.
