Then: President, Curry Marketing
Now: CEO and co-founder, OMG Commerce LLC
Brett Curry’s business trajectory hasn’t changed much in the last two decades – but the scale has grown radically.
From running his own marketing company in Springfield, Curry is now leading a nationally recognized e-commerce firm. He founded OMG Commerce with partner Chris Brewer in 2010. The team of 50 has its offices in Springfield, but employees are all over the U.S., working for clients like Proctor & Gamble’s Native, linen company Buffy and Crumbl Cookies.
The company has ranked on Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies, Inc. Best Workplaces, Springfield Business Journal’s Dynamic Dozen and Biz 417’s Best Places to Work.
Curry, 44, is speaking this month at the YouTube Los Angeles offices to a group of 150 direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand officials, teaching them how to grow their businesses through Google and YouTube.
