Walking away from corporate America in 1993, Mardy Sitzer began her venture as an entrepreneur building a design and marketing firm. As a Certified Inbound Marketing Professional armed with passion and experience, her goal has always been to level the playing field for businesses by leveraging technology for sound, creative and economical solutions.

Mardy became intrigued with the little-known world of Bulletin Boards (BBS) in the late 80s giving her access to top university researchers and leading technologists. This was the ‘ah ha’ moment for her and she hasn’t logged off since.

She’s been recognized for her work in Social Media with a nomination as a Small Business Influencer and won awards for outstanding performance in Social Media Marketing from WPEO and NAWBO.

Today, Bumblebee Design & Marketing LLC provides a range of traditional and digital marketing solutions for their clients. From Identity campaigns to search engine optimized website development and design; blog design including content and marketing strategy; social media identities, campaigns, workshops and coaching. She offers a unique perspective and stays current with the rapid changes that impact the digital marketing arena. She shares her insights on a popular blog, Notes From The Hive covering news, trends and tips in all things marketing. She was a Contributing Editor at the New York Enterprise Report magazine for 5 years until they were sold, and a contributor to SmartCEO, Citibank Small Business and other online business magazines.
