Dana Morris’s Summary
Achieving results is at the core of my marketing program management strategy: lead generation, awareness creation, and most important, revenue.
My career has been focused on technology based senior level marketing program management. I have successfully worked on projects in many different vertical industries, and many product segments.
This broad background in marketing has provided a solid perspective on the processes and tools available in today’s marketplace. From implementation of a regional lead generation program, to utilization of social networking strategies, my singular goal is to provide a platform for product positioning and differentiation that ultimately sells product and services.
I've provided a varied client base with cost effective, revenue and lead generating marketing programs: Computerworld/IDG, Davox, Bose, Mitre, Cape Dory, Raytheon, Motorola and many other companies benefited from these programs.
On the cusp of the internet boom I worked for PC Connection as their electronic marketing coordinator, providing guidance and strategy for utilization of emerging technologies.
Positioning early adopters of cutting edge media, at Convergent Media I served as project manager on a variety of projects, working with a talented team of artists, writers, programmers, and program managers to produce cost effective and timely internet, CD and print deliverables.
High profile succesfull launches of software products for Hitachi provided critical national positioning of them as a key software vendor.
As Vice President of Marketing for the Object Management Group, I managed a vast array of strategic and tactical marketing initiatives in very diverse fields such as healthcare, space, business modeling and integration, transportation, robotics, finance, and insurance. Management includes the branding, launch and marketing of the of SOA Consortium, Unicode's annual conference and OMG software certification programs .
