Career Highlights for David Kinard, a Seattle-based marketing expert.

Personal Brand Highlights

I've always held to the idea that I have a personal brand. And, though there may be several people with the name David Kinard in this world, there is only one me. Below are a few ways that I've worked to develop my personal brand and distinguish myself.

Hold Professional Certified Marketer (PCM) designation

I was one of the first people in the world to earn the PCM designation from the American Marketing Association. It is a testament to my belief in continuing professional development and my dedication to staying at the top of my craft.

Hold facilitator designation for the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

It's not enough that I be an expert in marketing, but that I also strive for the highest possible development of my character as well. Written by Stephen Covey, the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People is the #1 best selling business book of all time. Hmmm...maybe there's something to that idea of being proactive after all.

Host of Marketing News Radio

One of the greatest things about being David Kinard is that I get to host the American Marketing Association's weekly, live radio program Marketing News Radio. For the past four years I've interviewed dozens of authors, thought-leaders, experts, and cutting-edge practitioners. You can listen live on Wednesdays at 9 a.m. PST or listen to dozens of past shows in the archives here and here.

Adjunct Marketing Professor

I've been an adjunct professor at two Seattle-based universities for nearly 10 years now. I created the curriculum and taught the Professional Marketer Program for Seattle Pacific University. This six-course, 30-week program ran for three years and graduated many of today's top Seattle marketers. I also teach MBA marketing courses at Seattle University on a regular basis.

Received official recognition by Washington Governor Gary Locke

I was fortunate enough to be a primary contributor in developing the Marketing Skills Standards education program for Washington State schools. This was an honor to be asked to participate, and a genuine thrill to be a part of shaping the minds of high school students across the state.

Earned Master's Degree in Education with Emphasis in Marketing

A strong believer in lifelong learning, I earned my graduate degree from Western Washington University. I chose education because I believe that marketing is also about educating consumers about your products, services, and organization. This advanced knowledge provides me with a deeper understanding of consumer behavior and how to create powerful communications programs.

Paying it all Forward

To date, I have served more than 10 thousand hours in volunteer service to worthy organizations. I believe that I belong to a greater community and should add my skills and talents for the greater good. I have been highly fortunate to learn from others who have freely given their time and energy, and I want to do the same.

I've also been fortunate enough to serve on the boards of several amazing organizations including as president of the Puget Sound American Marketing Association, as VP of marketing for the National Speakers Association Northwest, as council member for the Professional Chapters Council of the American Marketing Association, and in volunteer support of Music Center of the Northwest, and Northwest Girl Choir.
