CLEARWATER, Fla. - TelAve -- Digital Media Solutions® (DMS), the leading global martech company leveraging innovative, performance-driven brand and marketplace solutions to connect consumers and advertisers, is proud to announce the promotion of industry expert Kathy Bryan to the first-ever female Chief Marketing Officer. As CMO, Bryan will oversee all aspects of corporate marketing and communications for DMS, including DMS Insights — an approved Google News publisher. Heading the DMS corporate marketing and communications department since 2017, Bryan has established herself as a reliable and innovative power player within the company. She has effectively transformed the department by becoming the visionary behind the DMS brand and voice, tripling the size of the corporate marketing team and pioneering the creation of a formal digital content strategy, which in turn has helped DMS to establish a solid footprint in the martech industry.

"Kathy Bryan represents everything DMS stands for," said DMS CEO Joe Marinucci. "With grit, persistence and a forward-thinking mindset, she continuously seeks out new opportunities to position DMS as a leader in the martech industry. As DMS continues to grow, we will undoubtedly benefit and learn a great deal from having a leader like Kathy on our side."

With Bryan's promotion comes the re-establishment of the CMO role for DMS, as the company has not filled the coveted position since 2017. One of Bryan's early initiatives in her role as CMO honors the power of women — both at DMS and in the martech industry as a whole — through the Women of Martech, a not-for-profit trade organization. With DMS Foundation as the founding sponsor, Women of Martech will promote and amplify the experiences, contributions, successes, achievements and innovation by women in the industry. Bryan, along with several other power players from DMS, plan to officially launch Women of Martech in March.

"I feel lucky to be part of Digital Media Solutions and a team of amazingly passionate people," said Bryan. "Because of our rapid growth and our team's belief that nothing is impossible, every day at DMS challenges us to be our best and aim to be better than we've ever been before. More importantly, as a triple-bottom-line company, our pursuits are not just about profits. In addition to helping brands grow their businesses, Team DMS is focused on leading from the front when it comes to corporate social responsibility. We're driving meaningful change in our communities, and we're asking those around us to do the same."

For Bryan, affecting meaningful change and challenging herself outside the workplace are of equal importance to the strides she has made in the office. Playing a key role in the creation and success of the first ever DMS Heroes & Legends Ultramarathon as both a strategist and runner, Bryan will once again this year join Team DMS in the 2^nd Annual DMS Heroes & Legends Ultramarathon, a 220-mile race from New Smyrna to Clearwater Beach, Florida. Four teams of DMS runners will race relay style, enduring the longest ultramarathon course across the state of Florida. Partnering this year with Headstrong, the Ultramarathon will raise funds and awareness for veteran mental health services.

Combining vast industry knowledge and a natural leadership ability, Bryan has become an expert in the digital marketing space. Working at both global and boutique advertising agencies with Fortune 100 clients, Bryan gained strong B2C and B2B expertise through integrated marketing, brand management, demand generation, content marketing and client services.
