About Dan Acton

I’m an experienced digital marketer who has spent 10 years bringing niche media content into the mainstream. Working with budgets of all sizes, I deliver ROI, increase brand awareness, reduce customer acquisition costs, and build customer communities that become passionate brand advocates. In senior team leadership roles in a variety of environments, I have developed user experiences and create deep connections between people and brands through online and offline marketing campaigns. Experienced in SEM ad campaigns, paid and organic social media, SEO-focused content marketing and offline events. My background includes marketing content as diverse as Korean pop music and TV series, classic American film and television, horror movies and art house documentaries. I thrive in a collaborative environment, love to tackle new challenges, and find satisfaction when work aligns with my values of education and sharing culture that connects people in meaningful ways.
