MALIBU, Calif., Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- After creating
and running Brown & Dutch Public Relations since 1996 and
Consumer Product Events since 2009, respectively, without the
benefit of a university education, Alyson
Dutch has been honored with a scholarship and named one of
Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses. This month, she was one of
38 graduates in Southern
California's Cohort 17, which included a panoply of
businesses that ranged from civil engineering firms to an artisanal
distillery, caterer, kitchen kit manufacturer, vintage car dream
creator, appliance retailer, cookie chef; even an OEM rocketship
parts maker.
In Forbes this month, Goldman Sachs CEO, David Solomon congratulated the recent graduates
as a collective who generate $14
billion in revenue and employ over 200,000 workers. The
advisory council to 10KSB includes Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and
CEO, Warren Buffett, Bloomberg LP
founder and former NYC mayor, Michael
Bloomberg and General Motors Chair and CEO, Mary Barra.
Since its inception in 2009, Consumer Product Events (CPE) has
provided direct access to reporters and influencers for brands such
as Tesla, Adidas, Starbucks, KitchenAid, Mattel, Kraft, Motorola,
Seagate and 1,200 other break-out brands. As a result of this
program, Dutch has hatched an expansion of her do-it-yourself
matchmaker for products and press company and will hyper focus on
servicing her peers in the PR agency world, specifically those who
represent tech, food/beverage, fashion/beauty and sustainable/green
tech products.
"I am a first generation American of an immigrant family, a
Hungarian Holocaust survivor and Lithuanians sent in cattle trains
to Siberia in the winter, so
succeeding to me, is never a question," says Dutch. "I always knew
I wanted to be in marketing, so I never pursued going to a
university. After all these years, I began to crave a formal
education and the 10KSB experience provided what I needed - in
spades. The accountability factor was phenomenal. The course work,
which mimicked an executive-MBA, applied directly to my company's
growth and that of my cherished employees."
Specializing in bringing new products to the mainstream,
Alyson Dutch is founder of the
Los Angeles-based full-service
product launch pad, Brown + Dutch Public Relations and the
do-it-yourself matchmaker for products and press, Consumer Product
Events. She is the author of the PR Handbook for
Entrepreneurs, The P.O.M. Principle (P for Product, O for
Operations, M for Marketing): The 3 Pillars Needed to Start &
Sustain Any Business and is a columnist for Inventors
Digest. For 30 years, Dutch has been immersed in the world of
products and the people behind them. She has been a sought-after
CPG launch specialist for 1000's of products from basketball shoes
that prevent ankle sprains, snoring devices endorsed by
Shaquille O'Neal, to cyber security
services from Scotland Yard intelligence pros. Dutch brought
ThinkThin nutrition bars from health food store obscurity to become
a product purchased for a triple-million-dollar deal by Glanbia.
Dutch is certified by the Women's Business Enterprise Network
Council #WBENC, a member of #NAWBO, #PRSA and now a Goldman Sachs
10,000 Small Business Alumni.
