DMOC EXECUTIVES

[Heather Frayne, President]
founded Direct Marketers On Call to address a need that she identified for a network of freelance direct marketers.

It soon became a business idea when colleagues responded well to this flexible approach of staffing. Prior to DMOC, Heather’s direct marketing career spanned ad agencies as well as magazine publishing companies, some of which include Grey Direct, Rapp Collins and VNU, Inc.
