Introduction
About Me

Mark Fairlie is a telecommunications and telemarketing expert who has spent decades working across advertising, sales and more. He is the former co-owner of Meridian Delta, a direct marketing company that he successfully sold to new management in 2015. Through this experience, Fairlie gained firsthand knowledge of the life of an entrepreneur, from conceiving a business idea to growing a company at scale to transferring ownership.

At Business News Daily, Fairlie primarily covers marketing topics and the ins and outs of CRM systems.

Since selling his business, Fairlie launched a second marketing company as well as a sole proprietorship. He has expanded his purview to include topics like cybersecurity, taxation and investments as they relate to B2B business owners like himself.
