Hello, I’m Darrell Martin.

No, it’s not quite the same as when Johnny Cash said it—but it sets the tone. Direct, confident, and personal. I’m here, and I’m ready to help your business thrive through powerful, authentic marketing.

A Creative Life, a Career in Marketing

Creativity has always been at the core of who I am. Over the years, I’ve built a successful career around that passion—creating compelling content and shaping brand identities that get noticed.

​

From logos, graphics, and photography to video, copywriting, and marketing collateral, I’ve done it all. I’ve led the development of full-scale marketing strategies, built and directed a high-performing marketing team from scratch, and collaborated with top-tier talent to drive real business growth.

​

My experience spans event marketing—including tradeshows, open houses, and even securing a NASCAR race sponsorship. I know how to amplify brand visibility and create memorable moments that connect with customers.

​

Everything I’ve learned—from strategic planning to creative execution—is what I now bring to the table for small businesses. Think of RED BRICK as your on-call Chief Marketing Officer—ready to provide the expertise you need without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Who I Am Outside the Office

I live on a farm in the Midwest with my wife of 10 years, Trista, and our three amazing kids: Baylyn, Oliver, and Otto. We raise beef cattle, chickens, ducks, guineas—and of course, we have our fair share of dogs and barn cats. Our extended family lovingly calls our place the "Martin Funny Farm."

​

Farm life is full of early mornings, long days, and hands-on work—but it teaches you a lot about resilience, responsibility, and respect. These are values I grew up with and continue to live by. Around here, we call it the Midwestern Mindset: you can take my word and a handshake to the bank.

​

What We Do for Fun

When we’re not working, you’ll find us snowmobiling, UTVing, camping, boating, hiking, and traveling. (Trista lives for new adventures!) No matter where we are, we always find time for family.

​

Let’s Build Something Great Together

I created RED BRICK to share my marketing expertise with business owners who need big-picture strategy and high-quality content—but don’t have the time or resources to do it alone. I believe in building long-term partnerships rooted in trust, honesty, and results.
