Jim Durbin’s Summary

I left a comfortable corporate job to strike out on my own and found a new media company dedicated to improving corporate relationships to online communities.

Today I tap my social network to hire social media experts, train internal resources, execute campaigns, and serve as a sounding board to entrepreneurs seeking to understand how the online world can improve their business.

My company, Durbin Media, is a pioneer in the social media space. We've been at this since January 2006, working with small and microbusinesses, start-ups, and a few carefully chosen national companies. We train corporations and individuals, execute campaigns, and now, using socialmediaheadhunter.com, we find the people to work for your company as well.

Our training stores include http://store.brandstorming.com and http://store.socialmediaheadhunter.com, where you can learn how to use social media to improve your business.
