Florida Small Businesses 

Brown became an entrepreneur while in North Carolina and provided website builds and content to advertising agencies and small businesses in Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Texas. The move to Florida to be with family was not planned but working remotely online made it easy.

“Interviewing Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Martina Navratilova, and hundreds of professional, high school, and college athletes was exciting,” Brown said.

“Covering two Detroit Pistons NBA Championships, multiple boxing world championships, the NFL, NHL, MLB, PGA, bowling, tennis, archery, and Olympic events was memorable.

“Writing advertising campaigns that earned Fortune 500 companies millions was rewarding.

“But, building business for attorneys, doctors, financial, and real estate firms during the recession had the most impact,” Brown said. “Working with people who bootstrapped their way into their businesses as I did is where marketing makes all the difference in their success.”

Clients Earn Five To Six Figures Monthly

“Every day is a chance to prove my value,” Brown said. “The Marketing Square is only successful if clients are earning five to six figures monthly.”

Brown is a board member for the Second Chance Scholarship Foundation which provides scholarships to single mothers and battered women who want to become nurses.

Brown’s other passion project is as a board member for Hollow Creek Farm Equine & Canine Rescue which rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes severely abused, neglected, and exploited animals.
