Mark Drager, AKA the Badass Brand Architect, is a 5th generation entrepreneur who helps other entrepreneurs with B2B businesses sell more, faster, and easier.

The Founder & CEO of SalesLoop, Mark didn't take the usual route to become an authority in the world of marketing. Starting his entrepreneurial journey in 2006 with zero experience, he launched Phanta Media, the corporate video production company that would one day evolve into SalesLoop.

Fast-forward to today, Mark's team has led over 2,000 projects, served over 300 clients across 29 industries, won 32 awards, and produced nearly $14 million in content.

His podcasts, "How To Sell More" and "The Mark Drager Show," offer listeners a unique blend of wit, insight, and practical strategies for success. 

He’s a dedicated father of four and a loving husband to his high school sweetheart Jacqueline. His offbeat adventures include having a Boeing 737-800 for the day (twice!), a heated encounter with a billionaire, and even shedding 70 lbs in his late 30s. Though he skipped college, Mark’s a testament to the power of determination, creativity, and the right amount of audacity.

At SalesLoop, Mark and his team specialize in brand strategy and positioning, offer and promotion creation, and sales and marketing copywriting. Their mission? To take the guesswork out of your marketing and build a brand that actually drives sales. Mark believes in creating a damn good reason for people to buy so your businesses can charge what it’s worth.
