The Hustler's Digest StaffDennis Yu is a self-made digital marketing expert who has built up a reputable name for himself largely because of his zest for mentorship. Residing in Las Vegas, he is the co-founder of a leading digital marketing academy, Blitzmetrics.

Dennis graduated in Finance and Economics from the Southern Methodist University and London School of Economics in 1997. Venturing into the digital world was sheer luck and good timing for him as he says,
“I knew it as “webmastering” 30 years ago. Then it was called “internet marketing,” “web marketing,” “digital marketing,” and now all sorts of various names that involve social and influencer. But whatever the case, it’s been an odd mix of the “latest tools” plus relationship building. And I’ve noticed that the fascination with tools seems to come first and peter out, while relationships are the stable thing.30 years ago, I wouldn’t have thought this would be a career. Like most of us, it was something I found fascinating and was fortunate to become good at. I’ve made some great friends over the years, which keeps me in the game, no matter the latest trend.”
Dennis has also held executive positions at Yahoo! and American Airlines. In 2018, he was also awarded as the top speaker at the PPC Caesar’s Award. Dennis entered the digital marketing field when it was not even a mainstream professional like it is today.
