Virtual Government CMO and Well Respected Government Marketing Thought Leader

Lou Anne Bradley Brossman

I have over 35 years of U.S. Public Sector marketing leadership experience working for some of the leaders in the government market. I am a sought out speaker on government marketing best practices. I am proud that I founded Government Marketing University (GMarkU) in 2015, an innovative marketplace that applies a collaborative, community-based approach toward knowledge sharing and skills development in the field of public sector marketing. GMarkU was acquired by GovExec in July 2021 and I now serve as Strategic Advisor. I am well recognized and respected for my ability to drive Thought Leadership campaigns on relevant federal, state and local government policies and mandates. I am excited to continue my role as Radio Host of Market Chat on Federal News Network where we have a plethora of government and industry experts as guests offering "Clarity to the Clutter" in government marketing. Market Chat | Federal News Network

​

I have in-depth knowledge of product and services branding, messaging, communications and strategic and tactical planning. You have my promise that I am100% committed to increasing competitiveness, market share and profitability. I am very experienced in bringing strategy and client value to government end users, channel, media and partner marketing initiatives. I founded Virtual Marketing in 2007, a full service government marketing agency who became the leader in marketing excellence for implementing successful MDF partner programs. Sage Communications acquired Virtual Marketing in 2018. I am also currently Founder and CEO of Federal Speakers Bureau, securing government and industry expert speakers or panelists for empowering events with well respected government insight. I understand the value of having  experienced hands-on "virtual" government marketing experts who can step in fast and provide years of government marketing expertise.  

 

I have and still do serve on numerous government IT boards and was a founding member of the Women’s Center Executive Council. I was honored with the Heroines in Technology award presented by Women in Technology and was the recipient of the ACT IAC Dedication to Making a Difference award. I was named a Trending 40 Federal Entrepreneurs and Innovators.  In 2021 I received the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award from Government Marketing University.
