Dan Branley

If you ask Dan what he does for a living, he’ll tell you that he helps companies build and sustain trust among the key audiences critical to their success. And in the realm of B2B technology, that’s often through the objective lens of the news media. Over the past 30 years, Dan has carefully pitched and placed hundreds of stories that, in turn, have enabled his clients to become trusted sources to influential reporters covering news and trends in the B2B categories of e-commerce, supply chain, healthcare and finance. His work has garnered awards from the International Public Relations Association and, more importantly, elicited emails and phone calls from reporters who’ve come to trust him as a PR pro who can get them what they need – especially when they’re up against a deadline. Earlier in his career, Dan helped build and lead DDB Needham’s Emerging Technologies Group and, more recently, his own consultancy that focused on the launch and steady trajectory of early-stage technology companies. A lifelong Seattleite, Dan is eternally optimistic about the Mariners, is an above average golfer and enjoys long walks with his Shar Pei ‘Pudge’ and Shi Tzu ‘Sonic’. He’s married to a great gal named Michelle and has three sons named Drew, Beau and Caiden.
