Marketing By Marlow

• http://www.marketingbymarlow.com/

I apply 16 years of small business and nonprofit marketing experience to help small organizations reach their goals, financially and/or socially.

My clients work with me on budgeting, business development, copywriting, marketing communications, membership development, public relations training, sponsorship development, sales and marketing plans, web design, and search engine optimization.

Other than shelter and food? Nonprofits and small businesses with marketing problems, graphic designers and graphic artists who need web developers and copywriters. Socially and environmentally responsible marketing gigs. Oh, and how about throwing in faith that humanity can solve the looming energy crisis, and maybe two LCD monitors.

B.S. Marketing, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN

Executive Effectiveness Workshop, Compass Management Group

My first sales job was funded by quarters, literally. I managed the Indiana statewide sales for an independently owned coin-operated equipment distributor out of Cleveland, Ohio.

In 1993, I moved to Seattle and acquired a sales management job at an independent hotel in the U. District. where I successfully grew the income $1M over four years. Then I moved on to a few marketing positions - including business development for two high tech startups, where I developed an affinity for online marketing and search engine optimization (one of the companies was developing search software to compete with a new Yahoo competitor called Google).

When the dot-com bubble burst, I accepted a marketing position at Cascade Bicycle Club, where, among other event achievements, I sold the first-ever title sponsorship for the Group Health Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic.

I've been freelancing since 2005.
