Jim Dayton’s Summary

I am a marketing professional and author focusing on all things interactive. I began my career at a small interactive agency, WhyStruggle?, moved to a telecommunications and cable provider, Everest, moved to a mid-sized, full-service agency, Barkley, and have found a home at a mid-sized interactive agency, Intouch Solutions.

Along the way, I have learned how to utilize media to enhance the conversations businesses have with customers. I choose to work in the interactive space, helping people use technology to have honest interaction with the brands they enjoy everyday. I strive to deliver exceptional integrated marketing strategies for my clients.

I am currently working on emerging media (mobile and social media marketing, primarily) and Web 3.0 initiatives for clients in the pharmaceutical industry.
