Diane Seltzer

Principal at Seltzer Communications

Active in the marine industry, I built my reputation as a marine marketer with SureShade - helping to grow the brand from startup to an industry leader in boat shade systems. Along the way, I also founded marine marketing and boating lifestyle sites which I continue to run today. For the past 6 years I have also contributed to Lakeland Boating magazine with my "Cruising with Kids" summer column.

My strategic marketing focus comes from nearly 30 years experience in marketing with a diverse background ranging from advertising account management to internet startup marketing to corporate brand marketing. My passion for boating comes from over 20 years as a recreational boater and the time I spend boating with my husband & two daughters on board our boat, Seltzer Water, boating on the beautiful waterways of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.

SURESHADE - marine sunshade systems

From startup to marine industry standard.

As marketing director for SureShade for 11 years, I was responsible for the management and implementation of all B2B & B2C marketing for SureShade, including: brand development, public relations, social media, advertising, web site development & management, marketing communications, email marketing, sales/CRM enablement and strategic go-to-market initiatives to grow the SureShade business.

My marketing efforts for SureShade have contributed to growing SureShade from a start-up business to a worldwide brand as the standard for marine sunshade for both OEM and aftermarket customers.

Throughout 2020 I also contributed my marketing expertise to all three marine brands acquired by Lippert - SureShade, Taylor Made and Lewmar.

MARINE CONTENT CREATOR
