About Dan MacInnis

MacInnis Marketing started in 2006 when with her husband Mark, Danielle MacInnis decided not to go back to the corporate giants she had been working for and began her own business after her son Lachlan was born. After working for Hewlett-Packard for over eight years as a senior product manager, this was a difficult decision. Still, the challenge of starting a small business and balancing work-life was one that Danielle wanted to take head-on.

Danielle has developed some specialised skills as a marketing consultant by starting a small business from scratch and having 15 years of experience working for large companies. You were being able to see how vital the strategy and the big picture are whilst balancing this with absolute actionable, practical plans. Marketing is all about creating customers that know, like and trust you. To do this, you must take the time to understand your customers and their needs, and show them empathy, and the rest will fall into place.

With MacInnis Marketing, you won't get a marketing plan to stick to your top draw. We work with you to deliver an active, practical marketing and sales plan that grows and develops with your business and ultimately becomes an integral part of your overall business strategy.  Stop wasting money on ad-hock ideas. Know what you will do to grow your business and, more importantly, why!

With 40% of our work coming from repeat customers, we are proud of our track record. Our strong client relationships often mean we are invited to be involved in many projects, including branding and marketing, sales training, leadership and teaming, and vision and business frameworks.

We work consultatively with our clients. Our commitment to learning ensures that we are open to the best ideas and adopt them in developing every strategy.
