Brew City Marketing Leadership Team
Amanda Dalnodar
Founder, Operations
Little known fact about Amanda: she wrote the first draft of Brew City’s business plan on the plane ride home from her honeymoon. Amanda always knew she’d own her own company someday – and in one short plane ride, channeling a fearlessness and take-charge attitude that she’s imbued into Brew City’s culture, Amanda made it happen.
Day to day, Amanda manages the Brew City team. She knows firsthand how a fulfilling career can have a powerful impact on a person’s psyche and daily life, so she prioritizes making Brew City as collaborative, comfortable and person-centered as possible. She’s also serious about giving back, finding newer and better ways to lend a hand or impact the local community. She’s happiest when actively participating in events that make Milwaukee a great place to work and live.
Amanda’s passion for marketing stems from the simple joy of helping small business owners grow and succeed. She enjoys learning about businesses and what makes them tick. From learning about a particular business’s profit centers to their value propositions, Amanda is invested in helping each and every client be successful.
Amanda holds a BS in Business Administration from UW-Milwaukee and has worked at a variety of Milwaukee companies such as MATA Community Media, AT&T Yellowpages and Aramark. When not at work, Amanda enjoys spending time with her 2 and 1 year old, who keep her busier than she could ever imagine. She also makes a point to unplug now and then by doing yoga, going on long nature hikes and hanging out at the WAC.

Mark Dalnodar
Co-Founder & Account Executive
Intelligent and seriously funny, Mark is a Brew City co-founder and senior account executive. Alongside Amanda and Dan, we credit Mark for helping elevate Brew City Marketing from a humble outfit servicing a handful of clients to the organization it is today: a trusted name in Milwaukee marketing with over 500 clients and perfect rating on Google.
Mark’s days are spent handling finances, managing account relations and meeting clients in and out of the office. Beyond sales, Mark finds fulfillment in demystifying for clients the finer points of web design, social media and search engine optimization. He’s always increasing his knowledge of digital marketing and is eager to share what he’s learned. His expertise is such that he’s been asked to speak to audiences at SCORE, Marquette University and UW-Milwaukee. Of a presentation Mark gave at Marquette University, PhD student April Newton had this to say:
“Mark has spoken to my Marquette University students on two occasions about website design. He’s clear, direct and gets through a lot of information in a short class period. I appreciate that he always explains acronyms, vocabulary and concepts in a way that anyone, even those without much Web design or hosting experience, can understand. He knows how to pare down information to what’s most important and keep his presentation moving along!”
What does Mark love most about his role? Learning about new businesses and connecting clients to resources that can help them improve their digital footprint. To Mark, success is only gained when a client achieves leverage online.
Mark is a graduate of UW-Milwaukee with an impressive sales cred. In his downtime, Mark enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children. He also enjoys woodworking, landscaping and spending time in the great outdoors.
