Speaker Bio
Claudia Pennington, founder and CEO of DIY Marketing, has risen to a sought-after speaker and trainer because she put into practice her message about how company officials must always seek continuous improvement and make data-driven decisions.
After her IT days when digital marketing tactics were considered “emerging technologies,” Pennington found herself engaged in traditional and digital marketing, where she worked for clients in higher education, nonprofits, small businesses, and enterprise-level companies.
Pennington worked for a digital agency until she decided to start her own company because of her passion to teach and help others. Thus, DIY Marketing — and its interesting business model — was born.
DIY’s primary focus is to help businesses and organizations take control over their marketing campaigns to achieve a better return on investment by way of training in marketing. So, for less money than it would cost to hire consultants, she trains business owners and employees of organizations how to do it themselves.
Pennington and her team have worked alongside businesses and organizations to lead them to double- and triple-digit increases in lead generation or sales. This has not come by accident, rather because of attention to details and a continuous improvement process that relies on data-driven decisions.
