Marcia Durniat, M.S.
Senior-level marketing manager and business strategist with extensive background in consumer insights, advanced data analytics, product marketing, sales enablement, campaigns, digital channel optimization, and applied strategy.
Most marketers rely on "best practices." I rely on proven scientific methods.
My Master of Science degree taught me to question everything, test rigorously, and prove results with data—not opinions. That background separates me from marketers who regurgitate the same tactics everyone else uses. I don't ask "What works in general?" I ask, "What will work for YOUR business, in YOUR market, with YOUR customers?"
Then I find out. Scientifically. Competitively. Relentlessly.
Hello - I'm a senior marketing leader and business strategist. I turn brand stories and data into marketing that drives higher ROI, optimizes leads, and retains customers.
* Open to full-time senior marketing roles and strategic consulting.
I've always been fascinated by the power of consumer behavior and the impact of data analytics on market decisions. My career began with a foundation in market research, analytics, and digital marketing. I graduated with a Master of Science in Market Intelligence and Strategy from the University of Colorado, where I developed theoretical and strategic approaches to marketing across the 7Ps (product, price, promotion, place, physical evidence, people, process).
Described as a highly innovative leader, revenue-generating, creative, and driven. I build brands, optimize digital experiences, enable sales growth and retention, tell stories with data, design business solutions, and identify proven strategies to yield the best ROI for marketing teams.
I bring a comprehensive skill set in the latest marketing technologies, including AI tools, automation, business intelligence, and omnichannel management. I bring a quantitative and creative mindset—ready to pivot to challenges and build successful strategies and products that take brands to the next level in competitive markets.
