About Marc Apple
As a recognized leader in the sales and marketing industries, I have combined an entrepreneurial spirit, big-picture foresight, and a tireless work ethic into a diverse and successful career. Utilizing strategic planning to deliver immediate and long-term results, I have grown Forward Push into the go-to creative marketing choice for clients both locally and nationally. By offering comprehensive plans across a variety of platforms, we create dynamic websites that convert prospects into sales, advertising that generates high ROI, and marketing strategies that deliver a greater understanding of the marketplace.
Before launching Forward Push, I worked for some of the world's biggest companies: Starbucks, CBS Radio, Clear Channel Radio, and more. In addition, I have spent a lifetime championing progressive solutions and creative problem solving, from the nationally distributed music and lifestyle magazine I started in high school to the success of my book (You Talkin To Me?: Thoughts and Observations on Marketing and Promotion) to my role as Vice President of Strategic Marketing for the American Marketing Association's San Francisco chapter. Through it all, my core values of hard work and thoughtful planning have remained constant -- values that continue to resonate across the spectrum of businesses around the world.
