Greg Allbright Allbright Consulting, LLC
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.” That quote from C.S. Lewis sums up Greg's marketing career. During a failed run for public office in 2005, he fell hard for all things digital when drafting his own website and email copy, running a MySpace campaign, and using mobile texts to corral volunteers. Having direct communication with anyone, anywhere was frightening and empowering.
Launching his own marketing consultancy with no industry experience or business plan was a bumpy ride, but eventually he turned that experience into full time positions at B2B companies launching digital campaigns across six continents that helped companies tell their stories, and grow business. A few years ago he rebooted his consultancy to serve marketing agencies to provide their clients with a digital strategy and execute marketing campaigns. His is a board member of Digital Dallas, a group that wants to curate epic stuff around digital in Dallas, and the co-host of the After Hours Marketing podcast.
