Danielle’ Dronet serves as Owner, CEO and GM of the Newark Bears Professional Baseball Team in Newark, New Jersey. She began her career in marketing and promotions by founding Aggressive Promotions, LLC in the late nineties in Louisiana. In September 2010, Danielle bought a partnership in the Newark Bears Professional Team. Aggressive Promotions had designed many programs and marketing campaigns to turn the Newark Bears brand into a profitable business. On July 1, 2011, Danielle and a partner took over full ownership of the Newark Bears. This new acquisition marked the first time a female owner headed the Newark Bears since the 1930’s and 40’s, making Danielle’s position the second in history. Danielle quickly realized the parallels between Newark and New Orleans, which she applied while designing new campaigns for the Bears. The brand instantly grew positive awareness and increased ticket sales by an average of 30% and sponsorships by over 50% within 7 months. By designing many interactive fan programs with the teams’ players, fundraising opportunities that would attract varied groups, weekly themes and off-season attractions, the Newark Bears are beginning to be recognized by many media personnel, sponsors and fans alike as a rising star.
