On working at Next Street
As a native New Yorker, I have a passion and love for NYC and understand how important small business are to the lifeblood of the city. I remember all the small business owners I grew up with in Brooklyn and frequented. Small businesses are critical to the success of NYC and Next Street is on the frontline assisting today’s small business owners.

She worked in the Media Planning department at major advertising agencies in NYC, where she developed recommendations and deployed client advertising budgets. During her career she introduced both Lowe’s Home Improvement and Kohl’s Department Stores to a national audience.
After her successful advertising career, Marian was Vice President of the Women’s Business Development Council in Connecticut, a small non-profit providing entrepreneurial training and counseling to women, where she focused on expanding their programs and services.
Marian is a graduate of Pace University, New York City, with a bachelor’s degree in Marketing.
