Background

About Matt Dean

I’m a Marketing Engineer. Engineering is my learned skill set, but marketing is my passion, talent and expertise. I started out selling technology to large companies at 19 years old. From there, I wanted to become a VAR so I studied technology in school and then had the opportunity to work as an engineer for leading brands like… Disney: I helped build the infrastructure of the Disney Plus deployment system as a Cloud Automation Engineer. National Geographic: I was the lead engineer that helped migrate their on-site data center to AWS. Golden Corral Corporation: I helped automate their internal operations. Inovalon: I built an automated production deployment framework to deploy application code through different stages of the SDLC. It wasn’t until one of my managers said, “Hey, you’re really good at this. You should build something of your own” that the idea for what came next was sparked. I created a social rewards app. One that would help people get engagement and increase their reach on social media. On top of that, one that’d incentivize users to share what they’re passionate about by awarding them points they could cash-in. The surprise came when small business and agency owners discovered our app and started to request services from us: “We like using your system, but we don’t have time to create content. Can you create the content for us?” THAT’S WHEN PALMPONS WAS BORN. Now, we’re a marketing support company that believes there is not a one-size-fits-all approach in marketing, and most of all, marketing should be affordable for small businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike. That’s why we’re a fulfillment partner that offers marketing made-to-order, with no commitments (no contracts, no subscriptions). Period.
