John DeLancey

John DeLancey is a business owner and lifelong Walt Disney Company enthusiast. Beginning with the animated classic films as a child and continuing through dozens of trips to the Walt Disney World resort into adulthood with his wife and family, Disney plays a big role in John’s life. Combining the many lessons and inspirations Disney offers with his marketing consultancy just means he has an excuse to think more about Disney and call it “work.”

John grew up in southern Mississippi where he obtained a degree in Computer Science before marrying Sabreya, his high school sweetheart, and setting off for four years in the U.S. Air Force. In the Air Force, John served as a nuclear missile officer and command post controller before returning home in 2010 to begin a career in software development, an interest and semi-professional hobby of his going back to age 11. After a few years, John formed his own software consulting firm, and that company morphed a number of times before settling into the perfect combination of technical aptitude and “people skills” required of a modern digital marketing agency.

Today, John works to teach and consult with small businesses and marketing professionals on how story can be incorporated in modern marketing strategies. He hopes, eventually, to move his family much closer to either the Florida or California Disney theme parks. There, he plans to indulge in his alter ego as a dedicated foodie and perpetual child at heart.
