About Me
Ron Marcus has been eating, breathing and sleeping branding and marketing for over twenty years.
He got his bachelors in Marketing at San Diego State University in 1989. In the ’90s, he held Manager and Director of Marketing Communications positions at several high tech companies. After he got his MBA at the University of Redlands in 2000, Ron led marketing communications at two more startup tech firms before launching Epiphany Marketing, a boutique branding firm, in 2003.
Over the next five years, the Epiphany team created brands and communications in multiple media for clients large and small, B2B and B2C, in many industries.
Ron has always had a keen interest in entertainment as well as branding. In 2007, Ron realized an exciting opportunity to create an online TV show about San Diego lifestyle and entertainment. He launched Shindy.TV in the fall of 2007.
After a successful six-year run, the team at Epiphany Marketing disbanded in April 2009, with team members moving on to pursue individual careers. After subsequently spending six months working full time as interim brand manager for local tech company MIR3, Inc., in November '09 Ron expanded his brand consulting practice, renamed Shindy Media, to service a wide variety of clientele.
