When Dimitrios Settos was 28, he left his hometown of Stuttgart, Germany, and moved to Southwest Florida for a six-month internship. He had hoped to get out of his comfort zone and improve his English. Six years later, Settos is co-founder and managing partner of B3 Marketing in Naples.

To Settos, his work at B3 Marketing—which provides social media, graphic design, websites and public relations—is about more than just promoting a business. The three pillars the company was founded on are to “be known, be social, and be personal.”

“We use those marketing tools to tell our customers’ story in the most authentic way, so people can connect with them,” Settos says.

Settos married Amanda in Greece last June. His hobbies include meditation, martial arts, books and soccer.
