Branding the American Manufacturer

Historically, you relied on your Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), your distributors, your independent sales reps, or your retailers to build demand for your production.

By doing so you gave away your power, linking your production to the customer though others.

After all your old job was to focus on Quality, Price and Delivery.  Isn't that correct?

You are THE BEST process experts in the World! You must talk directly to your customer.

That's why we believe in telling the World how to find you. The American consumer is going to help you succeed.

With traditional distribution channels in  a state of flux, it's up to you to generate your sales.

You have two choices: cash out, or build a relationship with your customer.

Use the  Capital of Know-how™ to link your production to your consumer.  Whether you are B2B or B2C, the process works the same.


Mary Kaye Denning is a specialist in the customer experience and the new product development that results.

As a sales facilitator, she envisions playing a role in the revival of American manufacturing by implementing a marketing process improvement that reconnects American manufacturing with the voice of her customer.

Prior to moving to Cleveland in 2006 to be on the front line of American manufacturing, she co-founded ID Brands in New York City serving as Vice President of Marketing.

Mary Kaye's secret sauce is leading ad hoc teams of professionals to identify and promote emerging brands while feeding healthy obsolescence. In other words, think pink! and start building relationships that satisfy your customer.

Denning successfully positions her clients at the top of their industry as is evidenced by their cameos on Madison Avenue, Park Avenue, The Oprah Show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, VH1, Fox News, New York Magazine, Le Figaro and some many other leading media outlets.
