Tanka Bar: Building a Brand from the Reservation
Mark Tilsen is President of Native American Natural Foods and a longtime business partner with Karlene Hunter in Lakota Express, Inc., a direct marketing and customer care management company. Mr. Tilsen has more than 25 years of experience in nonprofit fundraising, marketing community development, and 18 years in special events marketing and productions.
Mark Tilsen’s presentation to the American Advertising Federation:
In order to overcome the isolation and the financial challenges of running a reservation-based company, Native American Natural Foods has relied on three primary consumer marketing techniques to grow its business to more than 4,000 stores in all 50 states:
Earned Media
Website Publishing
Social Media
Mark Tilsen, president of Native American Natural Foods and a career marketing professional, will discuss how his team leverages the relationship between the three techniques and where the company plans to drive them to continue the expansion of its Tanka Brand.
