Marc Dube has made a life’s work helping companies grow through strategic, foundation-based marketing. Since 2001, he has injected his passion and energy into growing Proven Systems into the country’s leading customized eNewsletter production and distribution service.
Throughout his years as a consultant, Marc helped implement strategic sales and marketing programs for more than 200 organizations including RE/MAX International, Fidelis LLC Buyer Brokerage, United National Real Estate Network, Primark International IVR Technology, Audio Adventures, Books on Tape and Record Stockman Publications. Through this experience, he was drawn to the power of the eNewsletter as a fundamental tool for growing revenue and communicating with clients, vendors, employees and other parties inherent to a company’s success. Yet despite his strong belief in eNewsletters, he watched his clients struggle to internally produce a quality eNewsletter on a consistent basis. Says Marc: “I felt the eNewsletter was the catch-all form of communication but it wasn’t getting done by my clients. I realized that unless we did it for them, it simply wouldn’t get done.” So Marc formed an elite team of designers, writers, programmers and project leaders … and Proven Systems was born.
Since its inception in March 2001, Proven Systems’ client base has steadily grown to encompass a wide range of industries such as telecom, IT, manufacturing, real estate and retail. Marc’s vision of the eNewsletter as a fundamental marketing tool has evolved into a wildly successful venture as the Internet has emerged a front-runner in B2B and B2C communication platforms. Marc is the author of the white paper titled "7 Rock Solid Ways to Grow Your eNewsletter List Fast" and is the editor of eAdvisor, Proven Systems' monthly eNewsletter that is distributed to more than 200,000 subscribers.
What has helped make Proven Systems a thriving company with loyal, satisfied clients? “The people,” says Marc. “It’s not all about me and never has been. The people who work at Proven Systems are incredibly self-motivated and take enormous pride in what we do for our clients. Our clients are so well served because our team members are very talented and intrinsically driven to produce great work. Each and every newsletter is a great team effort.”
When Marc’s not conquering the eMarketing world, he’s busy playing dad to his five kids (ages 8 to 16) and husband to Beth, also a member of the Proven Systems team. Marc also finds solace in fly fishing, mountain biking, running, traveling, movies and “reading a good business book now and then.”
"Proven Systems did a great job, ensuring we got our newsletter produced. Not only did I receive great feedback from senior management, it was very well received by our readers."

Professional Health Services"We received 4 leads the first day that our newsletter was sent! It looks better than it ever has, the articles have been extremely well received by our readers, and Proven Systems made the entire process so painless for me!"
Signs PlusNice job! You guys are true pros at communicating the essence of what we do in an easily readable and entertaining fashion. And it’s so nice to read someone else’s fresh words rather than the same ol’ ones we’ve used for 20 years to talk about this stuff

tw telecom"We know that when you need a job done, whether its jet interior design, custom painting, or mechanical servicing, you call in an expert. We discovered, through a referral, that when you need an expert in newsletter marketing, you call Proven Systems."
L & L International“Proven Systems is unbelievably easy to work with. After the first two issues, they [Proven Systems] knew more about what I want in the newsletter, as far as content, than I do. Sometimes the ‘creative’ companies are very hard to work with. It’s really nice not to have to fight to get the type of copy and articles I want.”
