GoLite Names Dana Donley Morton as Marketing Director
Boulder, Colorado, October 22, 2008 – GoLite, the world’s premier producer of lightweight clothing and equipment, has named Dana Donley Morton as Marketing Director, effective October 30, 2008. As a member of the management team, Morton will report directly to GoLite Co-Founder and President, Demetri Coupounas.
Prior to GoLite, Morton was a senior strategist/researcher at the award winning ad agency Crispin, Porter + Bogusky in Boulder, CO. Morton launched her career in the outdoor industry in the 1990s as PR Manager for The North Face.

After leaving Jackson, she became Marketing Director for the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) and since then has had roles as product marketing manager with Google, Inc. and as a qualitative researcher at Radar Communications, both in Boulder.

“Dana has a rare combination of broad and deep marketing knowledge, outdoor industry experience, and an intuitive grasp for the essence of GoLite,†commented Coupounas. “We look forward to building our brand with her.â€
