MISSION VIEJO, Ca., September 12, 2024 – Power Direct Marketing and subsidiary Power Direct Energy are proud to announce a recent round of impressive certifications for their success as a woman-owned small business. 

Managing partner Ann Marie Dryden has been at the helm of Power Direct since 2003. However, it wasn’t until recent encouragement from a client that she pursued certification recognizing her work at the company. 

In 2024, Power Direct received official certifications from the Women’s Business Enterprise Council, the Small Business Administration, and The Supplier Clearinghouse. Notably, Power Direct was also certified in the US Federal Contractor Registration for the first time this year.

Ann Marie boasts 25+ years of diverse experience ranging from marketing and advertising to television production, manufacturing, strategic planning, finance, and operations. She’s held executive leadership roles for companies like HBO, True Designs/True Innovations, and Sentinel Offender Monitoring. 

As Power Direct’s dynamic leader, Ann Marie blends a fun, creative attitude with deep business acumen and no-nonsense project management expertise to see that their creative projects for America’s top brands are completed accurately, on time, and on budget.

“When I first got into the industry, women leaders were few and far between. It’s not as if women lacked the skills or capabilities of leadership, there was always an invisible wall holding progression back.  As I’ve navigated the workforce throughout my career, I’ve worked with some very capable and talented women. I am excited and hopeful for more women in leadership going forward. Though we’ve always been on the team, it’s nice to have the opportunity to be on the first string.” — Ann Marie Dryden
