CORONADO, CA – MyMilitarySavings.com, the #1 military shopper community today announced they are celebrating five years of helping military families serve, save, and enjoy, and in parallel announce that founding member Denny Gibson will retire on June 30th.
Denny Gibson’s retirement will bring to a close a remarkable 52-year career in consumer packaged goods’ sales, marketing, and the military channel. His successful sales career began in 1964 with Tetley Tea followed by twenty years with packaged goods leader General Foods handling an impressive array of products including Maxwell House Coffee, Cool Whip, Post Cereals, Birdseye, Kool-Aid, and many, many more. Energetic and an entrepreneur at heart, Mr. Gibson ventured out on his own in 1989 to form Market Tactics, Inc., a high-growth company focusing on in-store print publications which quickly grew share in the military market.
