Danny Brown’s Summary

Currently the Social Media Strategist at Maritz Canada, I provide business branding and social media consultancy services to the consumer and commercial markets, from small start-ups to Fortune 500 businesses.

I'm also the founder of the 12for12k Challenge, a social media-led charity initiative to help change the lives of millions in 2009 and beyond.

Some of my services include:

* Introduction to social media and social networking
* Value-based relationship building
* Implementing social tools into company strategies
* Short-term and long-term social planning

My background is in Commercial Marketing and Corporate Communication. I was a key part of UK communications leader British Telecom, where I was an integral part of the team that introduced Business First, a specialized service that resulted in over £100 million of new business.

One of the ways I help you grow your communities online and offline is through the value of communication and interaction. I help you and your employees understand social media and its role in your business. This includes social equity and the benefits of supporting your local community.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in English and an Associate of Marketing degree from the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
