Kelly Brown

Working with clients to help them grow their business. Seeing the results of a really well executed digital marketing campaign. Learning what works -- and what doesn't. Better yet, I love learning from our team of really smart, really creative digital marketing experts. I'm amazed every day by the great work, great thought, and mountains of energy coming generated by our team. Working with great people is the best part of my job.

Kelly Brown has 30 years of experience leading entrepreneurial organizations. As Managing Partner and CEO, Kelly has had the opportunity to serve a leadership role in every functional division of the organization spanning business strategy and development, marketing, finance, human resources, customer service, fulfillment, information technology and publishing production. He’s driven by, and constantly steers our efforts towards, working with clients to help grow their businesses. He loves seeing the results of a really well-executed digital marketing campaign, learning what works and what doesn’t along the way.

Here’s the revised version with improved grammar and flow:

Kelly joined Sanctuary after serving for 10 years as the Chief Operating Officer and Marketing Director of Communication Resources, Inc., and collaborating with a myriad of other startups and local initiatives.

When he’s not boring readers to tears with self-aggrandizing anecdotes about past accomplishments, Kelly enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with his dog, Oscar. He’s an active participant and board member of Cleveland’s Entrepreneurs' Organization. Kelly is married to a wonderful woman, Heidi, who puts up with all of this, and he’s the proud stepfather of Morgan, who leads our copywriting department.

He recently moved to Lake Cable in Jackson Township and is thoroughly enjoying his new community.

Fave Quote: “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” —Teddy Roosevelt.
