Daniel Smith’s Summary

I am a marketing, sales and communications specialist, entrepreneur and dabbling writer in Ottawa Ontario.

I run two freelance marketing consultancies - MoneyTree Marketing (which specializes in general on and offline marketing services) and MarkeTrades Consutling (which offers marketing and sales consulting specific to the construction and trades niche.)

I am always open to discussions about contractual or (if the work is interesting enough) full-time opportunities in the fields of marketing and communications.

In my free time, I enjoy reading (books, blogs, magazines), watching movies, playing soccer. A new free-time project of mine is to write a novel - going well so far.

I am also the publisher of a popular blog called Smithereens - Persuasion, Productivity and Prose, which you can visit by clicking the link under "Websites" above if you like.
