Dennis/
Ayotte.
17 years in marketing and communications. Eleven in agencies, six at a newspaper before that. Most recently Chief Operating Officer of Leadhub, a San Antonio marketing agency. Now on the owner's side of the table.
Other side/
Of the table.
I spent eleven years inside agencies. I wrote the briefs, built the plans, reconciled the budgets, and sat in the status meetings. I know what a client can reasonably ask an agency for, and I know how to tell a real plan from a padded one.
Most owners don't have anyone who knows that. They have an agency grading its own homework. AYOTTE puts someone on their side who reads the report the way the agency hopes nobody will.

On the shelf/
Not the pitch.
ADDY Awards, 2018 to 2021, including a Special Judges Award and multiple Gold for web design and digital creative, on accounts I led with the agency's creative team.
Craft Beer Marketing Awards for Freetail Brewing Co. work, on the account I led at Anderson Marketing Group.
Plain/
And on time.
I started as a newspaper reporter and editor, and the weekly page reads like it: short, with the bad news first. At Leadhub I led the build of our own reporting dashboard and AI agents for routine work. I run AYOTTE the same way: software handles the watching, and I spend my time on decisions.
Based in San Antonio. Working with clients across the United States.
