Meet Dan and Alicia Marker | Content Creators: Date Night Denver

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dan and Alicia Marker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dan and Alicia, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of our brand is keeping track of our Why. When we Date, Post, say “yes” or say “no” to something we check in-with each other, and check our decision against our Why, to make sure we are showing up in a genuine way. Our Why is to have fun Dating each other, to evolve and grow as we explore new things and to connect doing things we love. We do this by lifting up Creators, Artists, and Businesses in Denver to find the hidden gems and experiences that lead to people connecting with each other.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Date Night Denver is a lifestyle brand that promotes Date Ideas to our audience, mainly across the Instagram platform. Our mission is to highlight incredible Dates for both singles and couples looking to break out of the ordinary. Along with Dating, we also bring suggestions on relationship health and sustainability. We (Dan and Alicia) are the owners and the face of this brand. We showcase our own Date Night Denver is a lifestyle brand that promotes Date Ideas to our audience, mainly across the Instagram platform. Our mission is to highlight incredible Dates for both singles and couples looking to break out of the ordinary. Along with Dating, we also bring suggestions on relationship health and sustainability.

We got where we are today by Dating and enjoying each other! The harder part was feeling like we had something unique and worthy of being seen. We continually overcome this by looking at our Brand as a scrapbook of our Life, Love, and Adventures, and this helps us stay focused on creating with and for each other. Another challenge is finding the time to devote to our Brand. We do this by intentionally Dating every Wednesday, and making sure we are setting the time aside to Date and Create.
