Learn more about me and what I do.

Ceci Dadisman is a senior marketing and communications leader with more than twenty years of experience building brands, growing audiences, and modernizing marketing operations for organizations across the corporate, association, arts, and nonprofit sectors. She partners with executive teams and boards to translate business strategy into marketing that produces measurable outcomes — revenue, membership, attendance, donor growth, and market share.

Her expertise spans the full marketing and communications stack: brand strategy and positioning, integrated multi-channel campaigns, marketing automation and CRM implementation, email strategy, analytics, and the operational systems that hold it all together. She is known for pairing sharp strategic instincts with an operator's willingness to get into the details — building the funnel, writing the brief, auditing the tech stack, and coaching the team. Her body of work spans campaigns designed for and with diverse communities, including Hispanic, African American, Caribbean, Asian, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ audiences.

A nationally recognized voice in the field, she is a frequent keynote speaker and workshop leader at conferences including the National Arts Marketing Project, NTEN, Association of Fundraising Professionals, Museums and the Web, American Alliance of Museums, Dance/USA, OPERA America, Americans for the Arts, and Chorus America, among many others.

She is a former board member of the Ohio Museums Association, the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts Visiting Committee, and was a mentor in West Virginia University's Creative Consultant program. She was also President of the South Florida Chapter of the American Marketing Association and has served on the Arts Midwest Conference Professional Development Committee, the National Arts Marketing Project Advisory Committee, and the NTEN Conference Session Advisory Committee, and was for many years the OPERA America Marketing Network Chair.
