Sydney R. Dozier, Founder + CEO, Renaissance Marketing Group

Like so many other young people, Sydney came to Nashville at the age of 19 to pursue a career in music. After working numerous jobs to support herself, while playing as many shows as possible, she found herself working at the soon-to-be-open Johnny Cash Museum right in the heart of downtown Nashville. Starting out working in the gift shop, very soon Sydney began managing the museum’s Facebook page, creating and operating their Instagram, as well as numerous other social media platforms. After being promoted as the museum’s Marketing Director, Sydney felt she had found her dream job.

After learning everything she could about marketing, digital marketing, public relations, graphic design, and the importance of customer service, Sydney took a leap of faith. In 2014, she opened her own social media business, Renaissance Marketing Group.
