My Story
Bonnie Hoag,
Owner and Founder of B.A. Marketing
I've always loved getting to know brands and bring their stories to life.
​
I have my BA in Advertising with a Specialization in Health Promotion from Michigan State University and my MBA from Portland State University - and have had the pleasure of working with over 50 brands across a variety of projects.
​
After spending close to 20 years working for a variety of Digital Marketing agencies and Meeting and Event companies, including Carlson Marketing Group, Organic, Hipcricket and One10, I decided to launch B.A. Marketing in 2020.
​
The combination of my passion for bringing brands to life and my experience working in both the in-person event space and digital marketing world provides me with unique expertise as brands now work to engage audiences in newer and still meaningful ways.
​
I received the "Member of the Year" award in 2018 from Professional Convention Management Association, Northern California Chapter (PCMA NCC) and the "Committee of the Year" award in 2019 from Meeting Professionals International, Northern California Chapter (MPINCC). I am currently serving as acting President Elect for PCMA NCC in 2020 and Chair of Membership, Retention for MPINCC). In addition, I'm actively involved in Corporate Event Marketing Association (CEMA).
​
Through the many years of working in the Bay Area, I also have a large network of partner, vendors and suppliers to help scale up any project as needed.
​
My certifications include:
-
Cvent Event Management
-
Cvent Virtual Events
-
Cvent Hybrid Events
-
Hubspot Inbound Marketing
