Recognition

Selected as one of the Top 15 Marketing Experts in Vancouver by Influence Digest in 2024. The list profiles marketing practitioners working across brand strategy, digital marketing, content and analytics in the city, and the selection reflects Dana's work in marketing strategy, B2B growth and analytical, technology-enabled marketing practice.

The British Columbia American Marketing Association (BCAMA) recognized Dana Bina with a Marketing Excellence Award in 2025. The award reflects work in growth and go-to-market strategy, AI-assisted marketing practice and the professional development of marketers across the province.

Dana Bina served as Team Lead for the Google for Startups team behind Spot Finder, which placed first at Techstars Startup Weekend in 2025. The result came from assembling a group of engineers, designers and business contributors who had not worked together before, agreeing on a single problem worth solving, and taking it from concept to a demonstrable product inside a weekend.

The New York Institute of Technology presented Dana Bina with its Alumni Service Award in 2022, recognizing sustained service, leadership and contribution to the university community, including support for students and graduates navigating early career decisions.

As Head of Marketing and Sponsorship for TEDxWestVancouver, Dana leads audience growth, partner relationships and sponsorship development for a volunteer-run event that gives a stage to speakers and ideas from across the region's communities.

Dana mentors participants at the Samsung Innovation Centre, working with innovators and early-stage teams on positioning, customer discovery, marketing fundamentals and the practical decisions that move an idea toward a market.
