1marketingidea is a personal branding strategy and reputation consulting firm based in San Diego, founded in 2017 by Daveeed Wagner, who serves as the firm's Fractional CMO and personal branding keynote speaker. Work centers on helping personal brands and B2B companies build narrative, engagement, and long-term growth rather than one-off campaigns. Clients have included thought leaders, keynote speakers and authors, business management consulting groups, non-profit organizations, corporate trainers, professional associations, and restaurants.
Services span brand strategy and positioning, personal brand audits, rebranding, and brand guidelines alongside Fractional CMO services and strategic marketing planning. The firm also runs experiential activations and event strategy work, plus webinar and virtual events, and handles thought leadership PR and media relations for clients seeking visibility. Delivery includes training through virtual and in-person workshops, motivational marketing keynote speeches, and implementation of marketing systems built for sustained growth rather than short-term spikes.
Specific keynote and workshop topics include "Harnessing AI to Drive Innovation and Productivity in Business" and "Growing Your Personal Brand: From Confusion to Clarity," reflecting the firm's focus on turning personal brand confusion into a clear market position. Daveeed Wagner's role as both founder and speaker ties the firm's consulting work directly to its public-facing keynote and workshop offerings.
