Scott Marlow – Indie Marketer

Scott MarlowMy first sales job was literally funded by quarters. An independent coin-operated equipment distributor out of Cleveland, Ohio hired me to sell vending machines in Indiana.

With a B.S. in marketing from Indiana University School of Business, and a minor in water polo – I swam to Seattle in 1993.

I managed sales and marketing for an independent hotel, developing $1 million 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 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.

Growing up as a minority in St. Louis, I learned to appreciate diversity, hip hop, strawberry soda, and, of course, donuts. My summers were spent in northeastern 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, naturally, basketball legend General Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers.

I’m addicted to outdoor activities: hiking, mountain biking, photography, rock climbing, scuba diving, and volleyball. I work in West Seattle, where I live with my partner, Jen.
