What We Do
"Big Ideas, Delivered" is a bit of a loaded statement. You need a "big idea" mind-set to bring creative solutions to bear on equally big problems. And without an outbox orientation driving your big ideas – without "delivered" – it’s all just expensive talk.
Denny Marketing is a strategic marketing consultancy and fully outsourced marketing agency focused on branding & messaging strategy, demand generation, channel development and go-to-market strategies. We work with clients ranging from technology start-ups to established brands north of $100 million in revenue.
Prior to my marketing consultancy life, I spent over twenty years at some of the premier brands in the technology world – Sony, Iomega, Plantronics – managing the people, strategy and budgets that drove the revenue and profitable growth in these companies.
