rovides to your local communities around the world! Marlon here, I hail from Austin Texas but was born in Richmond Virginia. I would consider myself a military brat as my father served in the Army during my two younger sisters and I early years. I grew up knowing what it was to serve one’s country and to always be responsible for your actions. This and other phrases and antidotes that praised being a model citizen were common themes in the Howard household growing up. I truly believed that my parents’ teachings of have integrity, moral values, and standing up for what you believe in set me on a path that made me the man I am today. My family and I have dedicated over 28 years of our life to serving in the United States Army. I say this because without the love and support of my wife and kids I wouldn’t have had the successful career in the Military that I had. My time serving has taken me across the globe, and everywhere I’ve traveled, my favorite stops have always been the owner-operated establishments. From a tiny espresso bar in Rome to a cozy bistro tucked away in Seoul, these places embody passion, quality, and a unique local experience that the big chains simply can’t replicate. It was through these hundreds of visits that I recognized a major gap: the most passionate owners often lack the time, budget, and bandwidth to effectively compete in the digital age. They are focused on perfecting their craft, not mastering Facebook Ad Targeting, Local SEO, or Email Re-marketing. Partnering with Blake Nubar, we are working together on bringing exquisite content, tools, and marketing tradecraft for owners in coffee and eatery sectors to assist you in anyway the I can with your media content.
