James Hutson’s Summary
In 2005 I launched TheSaratogaLife.com as a local entertainment guide. In 2007 we expanded across verticals and into 4 cities with the launch into 2 new markets in 2008. I have experience in several aspects of web production (design, development and SEO), but most enjoy the social interaction of business development. I believe the web is the most exciting and powerful communication medium to date, but that it should never outgrow the power of a handshake.
We are currently going through a significant growth period and I see the future of our company as a nation-wide network of locally focused small city guides.
James Hutson’s Specialties:
Marketing and Advertising, basic web programming skills, web design, social marketing, 3 years of successful sales experience. I enjoy media planning, marketing and the analytical power of the internet.
