Technical Depth + Trade Experience

ABOUT DAN GISSANE

Marketing systems built for the construction industry.

I DON'T DO FLUFF. I BUILD SYSTEMS THAT MAKE MONEY.

I help building materials manufacturers, merchants, and trade e-commerce brands grow through digital systems, product data, and practical marketing that actually aligns with how the trade buys.

Most marketers have never stepped foot in a merchant yard or a factory. I’ve spent years working inside the industry - fixing product data, supporting branch networks, mapping customer journeys, and helping sales teams transform technical information into commercial results.

THE SHORT VERSION

I help trade brands fix product data, improve their digital performance, and win more sales through practical, industry-specific marketing.

MY BACKGROUND

It’s why I can walk into a merchant branch, a manufacturing plant, or a boardroom and speak everyone’s language.

MANUFACTURING

Helping technical and production teams structure their product data for specifiers, merchants, and installers.

E-COMMERCE

Running multi-site operations, improving product data, conversion rates, and trade buyer UX.

BRANCH NETWORKS

Rebuilding local SEO, signage, POS, and launching new branches using repeatable playbooks.

SPECIFICATION

Preparing products for NBS Source, supporting architects, and creating spec sheets and technical documentation.

WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME

Generalist agencies don't understand the complexities of the construction industry. I do.

Here is what differentiates my approach:

  • I work with Technical Teams: I collaborate directly with CAD, technical, and production teams to extract the right data.
  • I Fix Data at the Source: I rebuild product attributes and SKUs from the ground up so they actually work online.
  • I Know the Specifier Journey: I understand exactly how architects and specifiers search for and select products.
  • Local Government Experience: I’ve worked with planning committees and public sector buyers - I know how they evaluate suppliers.
  • Trade Buyer Insight: I understand how tradespeople buy: credit, bulk, collection, and speed.
