Scott Marlow - Indie Marketer

My first sales job was literally funded by quarters; an independently owned coin-operated equipment distributor out of Cleveland, Ohio hired me to sell vending machines in Indiana.

My friends were “golden-handcuffed” at Fortune 500 companies. I took my marketing degree from Indiana University School of Business on the road.

In 1993, I moved to Seattle where I managed sales and marketing for an independent hotel, developing $1M in new sales. Business development for two high tech startups taught me about online marketing and search engine optimization (one company was developing search software to compete with a new Yahoo competitor called Google).

After the dot-com bust, I developed a marketing department at Cascade Bicycle Club, where I sold the first-ever title sponsorship for the Group Health Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic.

My interest in community organizations is influenced by my core values:

balance
directness
diversity
economic justice
integrity
social capital

Growing up as a minority in St. Louis, I learned to appreciate diversity, hip hop, and strawberry soda. My summers were spent in rural, conservative Indiana, listening to Duran Duran and Randy Newman, and working for the family-owned wholesale business, where I learned the value of a good education, an Amish-like work ethic, and, of course, Bobby Knight's IU Hoosier basketball team.

Most days, I concern myself with Peak Oil and the looming energy crisis. I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, photography, rock climbing, scuba diving, and volleyball. I work from my West Seattle bungalow, where I live with my girlfriend, Jen. Call me and you may hear the echoes of a crazy calico cat or the sweet chirps of three laying hens.
