About Paige Dawson

Curiosity. Creativity. Results. It’s how I operate. Infused with a passion to understand, I relish hard problems and the challenges they present. I flourish in exploring options and creating marketing opportunities in the world of entrepreneurs and business owners. Knowing their situation deeply. Growing their business through creative marketing and communications programs.I was raised on a dairy farm my parents owned in East Texas. Both my mom and dad were honest, hard-working folks who instilled a strong work ethic. I was exposed to many situations through their business and entrepreneurial endeavors. They were serial entrepreneurs and angel investors in numerous businesses.I grew up learning to add value. Knowing that if you want to build something, you had to problem solve, be creative and focus on results. I saw first hand how honesty and integrity built long-term relations and a reputation for business success.It's the values I took with me into my professional life.After a quick stint with a small communications firm, I joined a large consulting firm. As a girl from a rural East Texas, the opportunity to join a marquee company, see how large corporations operated, and travel extensively in the US and abroad was captivating. I worked hard. I developed creative marketing solutions. I learned about the power of storytelling. I developed templates and procedures to efficiently scale and execute programs.Ultimately, my entrepreneurial approach was stifled in the larger setting. So, I did what most entrepreneurs do... I left to start my own business.My first entrepreneurial journey was a dot com focused on consumer ratings (yep..Yelp before Yelp). It taught me a lot. I will never forget the pain, struggles, and perseverance required to start and build a business, and to then sell the business and watch its ultimate demise.Now, as the owner of MPD Ventures Company, I work with entrepreneurs and business owners. To fully understand their dreams. To understand their challenges. To provide marketing and communication services. To bring their stories to life in ways that provide tangible results.Curious?

    Founder & Owner | Marketing Communication, Strategy, Pr, Branding, Entrepreneur Women-Owned Bus
    Mpd Ventures Company Jul 2001 - Present
    Dallas, Texas, Us
    MPD Ventures is a marketing and communications firm that works with business owners, early-stage startups and small- to mid-sized companies. MPD provides a full range of marketing services (publicity, design, digital, SEO, social media, lead generation, executive branding and thought leadership ) with a specialty on “storytelling” communications.I didn’t start MPD with a formal business plan. Like most entrepreneurs, it started small, filling a need. I enjoyed marketing and had developed a knack for messaging and communications. As soon as I was exploring my next move - some 20 years ago now, former colleagues approached me to help them with various marketing efforts.Once the ball started, I haven’t looked back. As an entrepreneur, I wake up each morning thrilled to run a small business that helps other entrepreneurs fulfill their dreams. I’m actively involved with our clients. As a trained communications strategist, I like to ask questions. To understand the issues. To facilitate discussion. To brainstorm. To problem solve.My firm’s specialty is communicating both the tangible and intangible.Crafted in a storytelling format, the message and marketing programs resonate with our clients and, most importantly, with their customers. Our material is designed to work internally to employees and externally to customers. We leverage traditional methods and digital mediums and platforms for delivery.I understand entrepreneurs and the challenge of scarce dollars and resources available for marketing. I have (and am) in your shoes. I know each dollar spent on marketing must deliver value. I have clients that have been with MPD for years and many others that use us in one-off projects.Whatever model works for you, I look forward to hearing your story and delivering marketing messaging and programs to grow your business.Contact me at paige@mpdventures.com.
  • Ithought.Com
    Co-Founder, Vp Marketing, Board Secretary | B2C Marketing, Strategy, Pr, Advertising, Fundraising
    Ithought.Com 1998 - 2001
    ithought.com was a start-up consumer-based Internet company that provided consumer ratings for service businesses nationwide. (Yes, it was “Yelp” before Yelp...and alas, we were a bit before our time.)I was part of the founding team. From an idea, we built this company into a 40-person organization. It was my first foray at starting a company, and it taught me a lot. From finance (venture fundraising, cash flow management) to operations (hiring, managing, delivering) to sales & marketing, customer service, and board governance, it was a real-time MBA in action.. As the marketing owner, I led a team to develop marketing strategies, public relations plans, Internet advertising efforts and powerful community relations programs. The entrepreneurial learnings from ithought.com formed the business foundations I use today to operate my business. I will never forget the pain and passion, along with the struggles and perseverance, required to start and build a company. When I work with entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial companies today, I immediately empathize and understand them. I also leverage this learning as an angel investor for aspiring startups today.ithought.com was acquired by a multi-media corporation just prior to the dot com bubble burst. As a condition of the sale, I stayed on as the VP of Marketing with a vision of future growth. Unfortunately, as in some acquisitions, things didn’t work as planned, and I painfully watched its demise. The golden parachute never happened for me. Instead, I did what any entrepreneur does. I got back up and found the next opportunity.
  • Arthur Andersen Business Consulting
    Communications Director | Software Launch Plans, Pr, Analyst Relations, Content Creation & Editing
    Arthur Andersen Business Consulting 1995 - 1999
    Arthur Andersen Consulting was part of Arthur Andersen, LLC, one of the largest accounting and consulting firms in the world. The US consulting division provided services to large, multinational companies. I was in the marketing department as the director of communications for two of the service lines: Cost Management and Baan Software. I was involved with supporting service and product launches, devising public relations and communications programs, and organizing trade shows and speaking events in the US and internationally. There were a few foundational cornerstones learned during my time. As I crafted marketing programs and materials, I sought a way to systematically scale and deliver the material to support Andersen offices across the US and abroad. To achieve this goal, I devised a methodology that depended on repeatable templates and systems. In this way, campaign roll outs locally or around the globe were executed effectively and efficiently as well as consistently.I cut my teeth on book publishing during this time. Working with renowned publishing house John Wiley & Sons, I came to appreciate the production side as well as the content side of the business. I saw how a book (and really the message) became an effective “sales tool” for the author. During this period, I served as project manager for the development and release of five hardcover books.
  • Spaeth Communications
    Account Executive & Marketing Communications Associate | Pr, Media Training, Presentation Skills
    Spaeth Communications 1994 - 1995
    Dallas, Texas, Us
    Started by Merrie Spaeth, Spaeth Communications, Inc. is a Dallas-based firm recognized as a leader in the communications field for its innovative training and strategic consulting. I joined Spaeth as an Account Executive to conduct media training, presentation skills, speech writing, and witness preparation courses. I also helped with client-specific public relations projects including fighting for tort reform for a consortium of insurance companies and their law firms.Merrie taught me about the art and science of questioning and storytelling. Not to answer the question for the client. But to listen, adjust, investigate and delve in deeper. Then develop and share the message in a way that makes sense and emotionally triggers action from the audience. I’m an avid fan of the Spaeth training courses. I often bring the firm to work with MPD Ventures’ clients for in-depth media and speaker training.
