Our Team
Our Story
Started in 1999 by Alli Summerford, dandelion marketing specializes in web design, branding, website maintenance, and social media marketing.
While working as Marketing Director in-house for a small, family-owned commercial real estate firm in the mid 90s, Alli realized early that online marketing provides small businesses with a powerful means for reaching wider audiences at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing. This may seem obvious from today’s perspective, but this was all new in 1997. After developing several in-house websites, she caught the online marketing bug and went out on her own to offer website design and and marketing services to local, small businesses. At the time, many businesses still had no website, so those first years included a lot of persuasion that it was even a thing that business owners needed.
Fast forward 24 years, online marketing is an integral part of every small business. It is affordable and offers the means to reach and interact with customers in ways we couldn’t have imagined when starting this business two decades ago. As much as technology has changed, there are constants in this business and industry that keep our team engaged and excited about helping small businesses. The knowledge that we’ve helped a fellow small business grow and thrive – using a combination of creativity and technology – makes our work fun and rewarding.
