Gary Duke, EVP

With a broad range of national and global marketing expertise, Gary Duke oversees strategic planning and brand development initiatives for MDB’s clients. One of Gary’s responsibilities is to stay abreast of consumer trends and the latest marketing techniques, which he regularly writes about and presents at industry events across the country.

Gary’s experience includes extensive business-to-business research, strategic planning and marketing initiatives on both a national and global basis for brands like Fannie Mae and Loral Skynet.

While at Britches he oversaw all national advertising, research, direct marketing, and in-store promotional efforts. He also served on the company’s management board.
