Blue Focus Marketing Our Story
In 2010, we founded Blue Focus Marketing with one mission: to help brands build undisruptable bonds with their customers through authentic human experience & connection.

Before we knew it, our consulting, speaking, and training engagements led to a best-selling book, The Social Employee (McGraw-Hill); a TEDx talk, The Rise of the Social Employee; two online video courses, “Marketing Foundations:  Integrated Marketing Strategies” and “Social Employees: The New Marketing Channel (LinkedIn Learning); and our workshop, “The Social Employee,” sponsored by the American Marketing Association (AMA).

Ten years later, our mission hasn’t changed. The next age of marketing tech has arrived, and the need for those undisruptable bonds is stronger than ever.
