Before founding McConnell Marketing in 1991, Mark McConnell spent
nearly 10 years in the hospitality business, working in a variety of
positions including Director of Marketing at the The Peabody Hotel in
Memphis, Corporate Director of Marketing for Belz Hotels (The Peabody’s
parent organization) and Corporate Director of Marketing for The Kapson

to found a successful firm of his own. Throughout its more than fifteen-year existence, McConnell Marketing has enjoyed steady growth and has
built a reputation for creative, cost-effective results.
