Marilyn Heywood Paige

Marilyn Heywood Paige started marketing just so she could land more music gigs in Philadelphia. She learned how to promote herself better than any other vocalist at the time and, in doing so, discovered two things. First, she was a very average singer. And second, she was a great marketer. Eventually, she moved into marketing full-time for Fortune 1000 companies, and earned her Master’s in integrated marketing communications from West Virginia University. She founded two marketing agencies in Denver before moving into consulting, which she does now while she cares for her 88-year-old mother. She lives in Greeley, Colorado.
