Marketing & Communications

Dan Snow
Snow Collective
Marketing & Communications Strategy

Dan started working in advertising at 19 years old and never looked back. With roots in market research and data analysis, Dan took his data-based learnings and moved into creating online and offline communication strategies for businesses like Nissan, Visa, Minto, Molson, Avaya, and CIBC to name a few.

Now Dan works with independently-owned businesses as their part-time Director of Marketing and fractional Chief Marketing Officer. The more complex the product or service, the more rewarding it is to define the brand, and the offer in a meaningful way to customers.
