Why do you want to listen to me? I’m a marketer. I’ve been involved with advertising and
marketing since 1990 but in reality since I was a kid. I’ve been marketing online since 1996. I
was one of the first people to purchase a banner on Yahoo. I’ve worked with some big
(Johnnie Walker, Marlboro, Nestle, Pepsi, Vail) and small clients. I have been presented with
multiple marketing awards: AMA, ADDY, MarCom Gold Award. I have been on social
networks since 1997. I love connecting with smart people online and offline. The doors to
this room are locked!!!
