Hi. Hello. Welcome, let's start with just a bit of an out-there introduction first. Just to give some reference as to what I am even doing here.

I'm Tony Marino, the alter ego for Darren. I say that because Tony is my real middle name and my last name is so long that I chopped it in half.

I mean, what's Tom Cruise, Pink, Eminem's real name? I can have any name I want right? Good we are on the same page. Just having some fun in amongst all this seriousness of marketing, brand building and the important stuff that goes along with it.

I've started new ventures, scaled businesses, unintentionally blew some up. Tried, tested, made mistakes, good success, bought, sold, invested, partnered, advised, networked and learned an incredible amount along the way (like 35+ years ssh no counting).

I have consulted with some switched on, go-getter companies, worked with some amazing people, small business, big companies, publicly listed and private, those known and those who are not seeking publicity by any means, yet that marketing and business knowledge gleaned, learned, worked, contributed, retained, capitalised and more has been invaluable to me, myself, I, my shadow and my team, yet in all seriousness to so many clients, community and others that in my humble pledge to pay forward while also giving back too, that I am able to share some good with others.

There's lot to cover in Brand Boost not just the who are you? What is your superpower? What product, service, widget are you representing, selling, sharing? From Brand to Boost and launching to your audience, how on track are you?

Need some straight up, direct, valuable insights on marketing and business building without the baloney and clickbait hype? Good, then let's get to work while trying to find that Zen balance. Can you relate?
