About Us
SocialTrend is proudly woman-owned and operated. This has guided the team in bringing a relational approach to every client it works with. The founder, Dawn Malinowski, likens ST to your outsourced marketing department and the concierge marketing agency for small businesses. Since its inception in 2013, it has created and overseen the implementation of hundreds of marketing campaigns for small businesses throughout the US. Using multiple social media platforms, Google Ads management, search engine optimization, graphic design, and website development, the ST team has propelled the growth of many small businesses looking to improve their visibility and marketing efforts. The team not only improves their clients’ online media presence, it also continually recommends and develops campaigns and marketing materials that connect the vision of the business owner to serve the needs of potential customers.
SocialTrend isn’t about cookie-cutter marketing. The agency knows that each small business has its own unique vision (and challenges). As a result, SocialTrend uses the concierge approach. It researches and caters to your marketing needs.
Dawn Malinowski is the Founder of SocialTrend Marketing Solutions. She began her career as an educator. She launched her business after taking some time off to enjoy motherhood. Dawn’s educator background has allowed her to bring a different approach to digital marketing, relying heavily on tools and metrics to support the creative process. She also sees herself as a strong collaborator with both her clients and team to ensure the individual growth of the client’s business.
Her entrepreneurial success and small business marketing expertise have resulted in Dawn being an in-demand speaker and presenter for a wide variety of business groups, chamber of commerce meetings, colleges and conferences. These presentations on social media marketing, search engine optimization and website design have been met with rave reviews. Her audience has said they walked away with options to now effectively and immediately promote their businesses through proven social media tactics. Dawn was also honored to be asked to be a participant on Congressman Andy Kim’s Women Business Owners Forum in March, 2022.

While Dawn absolutely loves what she does through SocialTrend, family is everything to her. Family vacations with her husband and three kiddos, along with flea market trips, hiking excursions and mini yoga retreats are what refuel her to show up for her business. And don’t be surprised to find her on the treadmill desk taking a call!
