Dave Knox’s Summary

As a Brand Manager at Procter & Gamble, I have had a career focus in digital marketing, youth marketing, emerging media, and shopper marketing. I am a strategic marketer and brand builder with a proven ability to embrace change in order to guide brands through the increasingly fractured media landscape. I have a passion for winning with an energetic and driven personality, as well as a proven ability to build, lead and inspire a high-performance team with an impossible is nothing mentality.

While working at P&G, I started the blog Hard Knox Life, which is an industry recognized commentary on the changing brand management and marketing landscape. It is for the next generation of "Marketing Technopologists", people who bring together strengths in marketing, technology and social interaction.
