About Sean Branagan

I've worked for 20+ years as a creative, strategic, innovative, and highly motivated marketer and consultant ... focused on businesses with highly technical products and services. After building my own interactive marketing firm in the 1990s into a profitable business, my partner and I sold to AppliedTheory to form the strategy and interactive marketing practice for the company’s national Professional Services Group. Later, I headed marketing and product management to re-position the company for acquisition. Through acquisitions, the company became ClearBlue Technologies and finally NaviSite, where I remained Senior Director of Marketing, until I left the company in August 2004. Since then, I have done technology marketing for emerging and growth companies through Communigration, provided management assistance, startup coaching, and strategy for early-stage tech companies through C3 Strategic, and helped small technology companies seek acquisition through Echelon Capital, and did B2B search and social media marketing through Digital Vertical. In February of 2011, I started a new Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at my beloved alma mater, The Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Along the way, I also created Student Startup Madness, a collegiate startup tournament at South By Southwest, served as advisor/judge for funds and startup accelerators, including Stadia Ventures. In 2020, we launched Scrappy Capital, doing seed investments in startups in rising tech cities.
