By: Pronto Marketing Doing consistent and effective marketing has been a perennial challenge for the IT Service Providers and Manage Service Providers serving the small and mid-size company marketing. Most are small and lack the resources and time to develop marketing plans and carry these through to execution. While many of their vendors have excellent campaign and marketing materials most of this is never utilized. Pronto Marketing was founded in 2008 by industry veteran Derek Brown. With over twenty years of high-tech marketing and channel experience at Microsoft, TechData and other industry leaders Brown understood the need for a full-service marketing solution for these companies. “When I was responsible for Microsoft Windows SBS I thought lot about the challenges our partners had with marketing. There just had to be a better way than sending them more marketing materials they would never use. With Pronto I was determined to provide what I saw as the missing link; execution.” said Derek Brown, President, Pronto Marketing. The Pronto programs provides their clients a professional website, all content and updates, a monthly newsletter, search optimization, analytics and more for only $197 per month. In addition, Pronto provides out-of-the-box campaign management.
