meet damon, print & digital advertising manager

The Delaware State Chamber is excited to welcome our newest team member, Damon Howard, who will serve as the print and digital advertising manager. In this role, Damon's talent and energy will help align businesses' marketing needs with the State Chamber's products—​Delaware Business magazine, www.DSCC.com, the Legislative Roster, Conversations with Kelly podcast, and email campaigns.

GET TO KNOW DAMON:
​

Where are you from?
Venice Beach, CA & Wilmington, DE.  I grew up in Delaware, but spent the largest portion of my adult life—almost 15 years--on the Westside of Los Angeles. I was born in Wilmington, raised in Dover as a retired Air Force brat (Caesar Rodney Riders!), spent summers at the Delaware beaches, and graduated from the University of Delaware prior to relocating to the West Coast. 

What is your previous experience?
I am a seasoned "Marketing Maverick" whom has specialized in the digital space for over 15 years.  I am a former marketing/advertising director of Out & About Magazine (DE), digital marketing director for Agencies (Los Angeles and Philadelphia), and most recently the digital product owner at AAA Club Alliance (formerly AAA Mid-Atlantic). 

What do you most look forward to as a member of the Delaware State Chamber team? 
​Great question. There are several factors in my background and experience that attracted me to joining the DSCC team. At this point in my professional career, I am looking to combine my extensive business experience with my communal philanthropic beliefs. The State Chamber, in particular, has such a strong public policy focus. Combine that with the magnitude of Delaware's business incorporation model (local/national/global corporate, legal and private business sectors), the State Chamber can help shape the future direction of our state as the voice of the business community individually and collectively. Hopefully my unique upbringing in all three of "The Small Wonder" counties balanced with my national marketing experience will prove to be an asset to the State Chamber, it's members, and our state's business community as whole.

What is your professional mantra? 
Hmmm, here's a blend of them from over time:

"Do Today what others will not, so that Tomorrow you can do what others cannot"
"My Time is my Treasure"
"Sometimes you Win, Sometimes you Learn"
"Patience, Perseverance, and Practice".

Do you have a favorite Delaware spot?
I guess it would be one of my spots in New Castle or Sussex.  Since I grew up near the beaches and also lived in Venice Beach/Santa Monica, I'll say the Delaware beaches. The Rehoboth/Dewey stretch of ocean on one side and bay on the other reminds me of Marina Del Rey.  What can I say, I'm a Beach Bum at heart!

Give us a fun fact about you!
I've worked professionally in the entertainment industry on both sides of the business. 

Are you reading anything right now?
I read a lot of blogs and listen to podcasts. The Neuron, TechCrunch, Akimbo, Wired, and The Morning Brew.  Hard copy wise, my colleague Christopher Penn wrote a book two or three years ago called AI for Marketers: An introduction and Primer. It fascinated me and I'm astonished how quickly Machine Learning and LLM/AI has evolved in the last year or so. It's a see saw for me--embracing and yet debating ethics for human creatives and labor force in general.
