Clynton Taylor's Summary
I was born in Sydney, Australia and have since lived in fourteen cities, in three countries, on three continents.
As an ethnographer and marketer living in the Bay Area, I was unable to escape the gravitational pull of the dotcom bubble. I went on to work with such media darlings as C|Net and WetFeet.com, developing relationship marketing programs and leading online research campaigns. I have also served as a brand strategist for Gymboree, a children’s clothing retailer and service provider. While there, I created and launched a program to market parenting classes directly to corporate HR departments. I did my Master’s work in Organizational Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology. My thesis focused on how companies can best facilitate and harness the innovative thought that occurs when employees regularly interact with their customers.
Prior to joining Jump, I founded Gestalt, a consulting firm that provided social research services, most notably to leading advertising and branding agencies.
