Dee Dee Dochen
Principal, DDD Marketing Communications
Dee Dee Dochen is an insightful and deeply skilled message strategist. Her consultancy, built on
the foundation of a successful public relations career, provides a related menu of expert
services in branding, integrated marketing strategy and communications, presentation training,
facilitation, transition communications and crisis/reputation management.
Originally a teacher in Dallas upon graduating with honors from the University of Texas in Austin,
Dee Dee became smitten by the hospitality industry, ultimately serving as director of convention
sales for the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau where she led and publicly represented a
vibrant team during one of the city’s most explosive periods of hotel and tourism growth. In 1988,
Dee Dee moved to Bethesda, Maryland, and served as a national director of public relations
and marketing programs for the bulk of her six years at Marriott International, Inc.’s global
headquarters. The reputation and experience she earned while with Marriott enabled her to
seamlessly and successfully launch Houston-based DDD Marketing Communications in January
1995.
Along with hospitality, Dee Dee’s consultancy has over its 20 years expanded to include clients
in both the for- and non-profit worlds, and in industries spanning real estate, legal and financial
professional services, energy, steel, the arts, health and human services. Dee Dee’s work with
organizations inevitably improves the way they enhance their culture and story "pull-through"
internally and externally.
A naturally engaging facilitator – and, on the side, a singer in jazz, pop and community groups –
Dee Dee is frequently called upon to speak on topics of crisis management, message-focused
storytelling and integrated marketing.
Dee Dee’s passion for service extends into her community. She is a Senior Fellow, board member
and marketing committee chair of the American Leadership Forum Houston/Gulf Coast Chapter
(ALF); advisory board and marketing committee member of Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS);
advisory board member and security committee vice-chair of the Southwest Region of the AntiDefamation League (ADL); a member of the President’s Leadership Council of Music Doing
Good; and a member of Miller Outdoor Theatre’s marketing committee.
In both her professional and volunteer worlds, Dee Dee is proud to align with organizations and
people who share a commitment to excellence, enthusiasm for results, positive stakeholder
relationships and collaborative team energy.
