Meet Co-Founder Danah Ditzig…
Danah is a lifelong Minnesotan who can play three truths and a lie and honestly sneak in “she was Miss Majorette of the North” and “played the accordion” as facts. Growing up in the Midwest sparked two sides of joy – a love for adventure and serenity of nature and a passion for the arts and competition. Thus, spawned her “do-it-allness” personality which now includes raising a family of three now adult kids (and always dogs) with her English Teacher husband while growing her career and volunteering.
She describes her professional journey as her “mailroom to boardroom” story starting out in healthcare administration rising to a senior leader in a Fortune 500 company. Now, running her own business.
Danah’s well-established career includes stops in customer care, inside sales, and product line management as well as numerous executive-level marketing roles. And therein is her passion – brand building and anything having to do with the customer. Danah seeks to use both sides of her brain to strike a personality and professional approach that’s both pragmatic, process-driven, calm, and collected but also creatively curious, boundary-pushing, and a catalyst for change.
Meet Co-Founder Jason Engler…
Jason is a fun-loving ambivert who enjoys all things Midwest – being at the lake, craft breweries, supper clubs, and meat raffles. He spends his downtime relaxing on a pontoon, basking in the sun and sand, or traveling the world. Jason’s flair for creativity started at a young age. He spent his teen years writing “songs” for his dream hair metal band and designing custom covers for his mixed tapes and CDs. In college, he joined the student programming board bringing musical acts like the Material Issue and Violent Femmes (for you GenXers) to the Minnesota State University, Mankato campus. This is where his love and value of experiences were born.
Upon graduating with a degree in Marketing, he gained a broad range of industry experience and dazzled in transportation, telecommunications, consumer shows, and healthcare, rising through the ranks. He has held several marketing leadership roles in the areas of sales operations, event management, product marketing, campaign management, account-based marketing, innovation centers, brand, strategic positioning, and more. With 20+ years of transforming marketing organizations, Jason is excited to bring that passion and know-how to clients of all shapes, sizes, and industries.
