Our Story

After college, Dre came across an article that revealed how the Digital Marketing Industry would be the catalyst to help businesses thrive in the next 20 years. After earning a Digital Marketing Master’s Degree from Concordia College NY, Dre applied and interviewed for over 100+ job opportunities, and he faced a ton of challenges pursuing a career in the Digital Marketing Industry. Despite the opposition, in 2018, Dre ran into a church that needed a new website. Dre created his first website for the church, and this opportunity inspired Dre to create his first business while job seeking. As Dre continued to seek a Marketing career, Healthgrades, a health-based Marketing Agency, provided Dre with the greatest internship of his life. In a three-month period, Dre was well equipped with Digital Marketing Certifications and abilities needed to pursue any job in the Digital Marketing Industry. In less than a year, by God’s grace, Dre went from having no job offer to looking at several digital marketing offers on his desk. Dre accepted his first highest-paid job offer and continued to grow his small business on the side. During the 3rd year of his career, Dre was running digital ads across the U.S. for a Global Healthcare company and managing multi-million dollar advertising budgets annually. Dre thought he was living his dream with his wife and 3 children, but little did he know having access to luxury hotels and the best 5-star restaurants isn’t what fulfilled him. This was the lifestyle Dre always imagined. However, he found out it was not the lifestyle he truly desired. He gained much more weight, spent less time with family, and had challenging times adapting to new company cultures and systems that did not fit his identity. Dre was not fulfilling his true purpose. In 2021, at age 26, Dre Richmond was led to step out on faith and give his full time, effort, and energy to the Digital Marketing Agency to serve businesses in the area of consumer growth and develop sustainable businesses. This pivotal moment marked the birth of DBA Marketing Pros—a company built on faith, strategy, and results.
