Denise Griffitts Interviews Nancy Marmolejo

Nancy Marmolejo cut her teeth in business running the snack bar at her Dad’s flea market in the era of feathered hair, tube tops, and Aqua Net. It was the greatest place on earth to learn branding, guerilla marketing, daring publicity, and customer service. She credits her late father for being the best business mentor a girl could ever have.

Years later, she became an inner-city teacher where she fine-tuned her abilities to see the potential in everyone she met. In 2003, Nancy launched her own business and quickly made her mark as a creative strategist, early adopter and innovative thinker.

Fast forward to today and Nancy’s achievements are many: national winner of the 2006 Anna Maria Arias Award for business innovation, Entrepreneur of the Year from the National Hispanic Women’s Association, over 100 media credits (including Smart Money, the Orange County Register, Redbook), featured in 5 books on business and social media, named to numerous “Best Of” lists from social media innovators to marketers, and a respected expert with a loyal following from around the globe.
