I have done a few things in my life

What I Do

My name is Scott Sweeney. I am a Marketing Director with 17 years of digital marketing experience. During this time I have learned that I am at my best when:

Open-minded listening and experienced guidance: I believe that creativity thrives when diverse perspectives are welcomed.

Utilizing data to enhance content: In today’s data-rich environment, businesses often struggle to interpret and apply the wealth of information at their disposal. I leverage these insights to refine and tailor the marketing messages and campaigns.

Staying current with industry developments: The dynamic nature of digital marketing necessitates continuous learning and adaptation. I prioritize staying informed about the latest trends and advancements.

Emphasizing authenticity and connection: Over the years, I’ve found that the key to successful relationships is genuine connection. Acknowledging the complexities and challenges of our busy lives, I strive to foster an environment of openness, humor, and kindness in all my interactions.
