Darin Berntson's Linkedin Analytics

In 2013, Darin "Doc" Berntson established Bernco Media, a pioneering Inbound Marketing agency under the newly launched HubSpot Certified Partner program. Drawing from over two decades of digital marketing experience, Doc's knowledge is enriched by his wide-ranging background. His journey began within the heart of his family's fireplace and outdoor product business (sold in 2001), extending through various business endeavors and marketing agencies, and culminating in his leadership roles within the digital marketing education sector. Since 2018, Doc has been at the helm of the Utah Digital Marketing Collective (having served on the board since 2014) and co-leading the Salt Lake City HubSpot Users Group since 2015. This expansive experience across a multitude of industries equips Doc with the discerning ability to distinguish effective strategies from futile ones, particularly for small businesses. In 2023, Doc made a strategic pivot with Bernco Media, transitioning from the traditional agency model to a coaching and training model rooted in the They Ask, You Answer business framework. This revolutionary approach is based on the best-selling book by Marcus Sheridan, under whose guidance Doc honed his expertise over a six-month period to become a Certified They Ask, You Answer Coach. The reason for this transformation? Doc identified a systemic issue within the traditional marketing agency model, which he realized was inherently unsuitable for small businesses. Motivated by this realization, Doc has dedicated himself to empowering small business owners and operators. His mission is to equip them with the necessary skills to radically grow in today's competitive market, without the need to outsource their marketing activities. His goal is to help these businesses emerge as the most trusted voices in their respective niches, drive substantial revenue growth, and increase their overall business value.
