Dee Dee Dochen

Founder & Owner

DDD Marketing Communications

Working since 1980 to help businesses and organizations manage their messages, Dee Dee Dochen founded DDD Marketing Communications in 1994 on an established record of professional service, personal attention, creativity and collaboration.

Ms. Dochen's marketing communications career has its roots in the hospitality industry. As Director of Convention Sales for the Austin (Texas) Convention & Visitors Bureau in the mid-80s, she fine-tuned the notion of combining creative ideas and a team of "specialists" - hotels, attractions, restaurants, musicians - to help manage the message of, in that case, a city.

In 1988, she moved to Washington, D.C., and served as a Director of Public Relations and Marketing Programs for Marriott International, Inc. It was here that she gained deep experience in integrated communications, affiliate marketing with Fortune 500 companies, crisis communications, and in creating and executing marketing communication solutions for a nationwide network of hotels.

In late 1994, Ms. Dochen relocated to Houston and opened her business with Marriott International, Inc. as a client. She has since expanded both her client reach and her network of affiliated professionals, surrounding herself with associates and partners who share a commitment to excellence and enthusiasm for results.

Ms. Dochen is an active community leader, involved with organizations that support the arts, children with special needs, human and civil rights, and education.

Coming Up In The June Online Hotel Business Review

"Hotel Business Review offers weekly articles for hotel management and operation and discussion on emerging growth markets."
Feature Focus
Hotel Sustainable Development: Principles and Best Practices
Sustainability is now a daily topic that affects every facet of hotel development and operations. As hotelier Hervé Houdré recently noted "The goal of Sustainable Development is clearly to secure economic development, social equity, and environmental protection. As much as they could work in harmony, these goals sometimes work against each other". In the June Hotel Business Review, some of the industry's most recognized sustainable development experts come together to identify emerging trends and discuss how sustainability is currently affecting the hotel industry. Each author presents the most important aspects of sustainable development of much interest to hotel owners, operators, investors and developers. We include perspectives and case studies on best practices from leading hotel groups and other industry players.
