David Thai’s Summary

My interests lies within the realm of online marketing, mainly Search & Social. I've seen the impact that Search and Social have had in their respective mediums, which is very exciting to me!

I was introduced to Paid Search back in late 2007. Since then, it's been rewarding to learn everything that goes into creating successful campaigns, as well as analyzing the results to see how we can attract an even bigger audience.

One of my career goals is to be a part of a Search team at an Agency. Being surrounded by pioneers in the same industry would be a great experience, as I believe that creativity will breed creativity. I am eager to brainstorm with colleagues and clients in a team-oriented environment, focusing on ideas that have the potential for success.

My Philosophy:
Do, or Do Not. There is no 'try'. ~ Yoda
