About MTD
Started in 1985, we put more than 20 years of experience
behind our service.

MTD President Mike Danforth—already employed in the marketing business back then—had an idea: Why not put his own experience as a professional musician, raised in school music programs, together with his know-how in the marketing industry?

The result? MTD Marketing, Inc. — a company specializing in marketing to the school performing arts community in the United States.

Mike and his wife, Lisa, launched MTD in the living room of their tiny apartment in Chicago.  Today, MTD is based in Colorado Springs and has several full-time employees, plus an in-house battalion of researchers employed throughout the school year.


Our data is the most accurate data in the field of school music and performing arts!

Our knowledge of this niche is what saves you from mailing thousands of pieces of mail to schools that don't have the music, drama or dance programs you're targeting.

For example, if you're mailing a catalog of student jazz ensemble music, MTD can tell you which schools do and do not have jazz programs.
