As we thank our veterans across the country for their service and leadership this Veterans Day, we are pleased to highlight a local veteran-owned business making a difference in Southern Nevada.

Sumnu Marketing is a three-generational, community-driven marketing firm that focuses on small business development and stakeholder and public engagement. In addition to being veteran-owned, Sumnu Marketing is also a minority and woman-owned business. Over the years, Sumnu has been able to reach new heights of success. In 2015, the Small Business Administration named it the Family Owned Business of the Year.

Following 10 years of service in the United States Air Force (USAF), Shaundell Newsome, Founder of Sumnu Marketing, spent several years in the gaming industry where he grew his expertise in marketing and engagement. His passion for helping small businesses led him to open the company in 2006 so he could mentor, train and grow small businesses that are getting started in Las Vegas.  

In addition, Tiara Flynn, President and CEO of Sumnu Marketing, also spent nearly 10 years in the USAF, including three overseas deployments supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. Her work in the family business began when she was a junior at Bonanza High School. Today, with her combination of military experience and drive to support small businesses, she leads the operations and administrative side of the firm. In doing so, Tiara also provides leadership, training and development expertise.

Thank you to Sumnu Marketing for your focus on our community and local small and diverse businesses.  A big thank you to Shaundell and Tiara for your service to our country!
