Christine (Chris) Brown’s Summary

After many years of corporate marketing for national consumer brands, I created a marketing firm designed to provide marketing resources that companies need to get the results that they want. The big advantage to our clients is they achieve their marketing goals, without the hassle of recruiting, hiring, training, and managing a department of employees.

While the beginning of my career focused on consumer products, primarily toys, my company now specializes in being the marketing department for energy related companies(b-b), economic development organizations and professional service providers (mostly medical.)

I enjoy sharing my experience & knowledge: I write a blog, offer seminars & workshops, professional speaking engagements and provide a marketing mentoring/interning program at my company.
