About Marqeteer

Mark Boyd

When he’s not inventing one-celled children’s toys (“Amoebals wobble but you can’t see them anyway.”), Mark works with professionals in a variety of business realms on building a solid foundation for marketing, finding a unique hook they can believe in and devoloping that hook into a marketing identity. A graduate of Louisiana State University in Broadcast Journalism and Mass Communications, Mark’s marketing experience encompasses all media from radio to TV, newspapers and magazines to the internet…even the telephone, scripting and voicing messages on-hold. Mark has a simple philosophy: “Everyone has a hook. Everyone. Some are just more obvious than others and the object is to find it…not force it.”

From developing a foundation system including contact management (CRMs) to finding your “hook”, developing your marketing identity to communicating your identity, writing and distributing press releases to developing your media advertising path, Mark will help you discover how satisfying, productive and FUN marketing can be.

When he’s not working, Mark enjoys hobbies such as hiking, writing and recording music, and sitting on his neighbor’s roof as seen in the picture above.

Mark currently resides in Lancaster, PA and says his 3 children are his biggest marketing influence. “Mackenzie, Katie and Marguerite are constantly reminding me of the joy of discovery and the importance of learning being enjoyable and fun. You’re more likely to be consistent with your marketing efforts if you believe in your identity and have fun with it.”
