John Hartman’s Summary
I have been looking around corners and into emerging spaces to help Fortune 500 companies and major brands assimilate the new Mediascape.
With content converging from multiple platforms, I have been employing a transmedia storytelling and distribution strategy to reach the multiple touch points where content is consumed.
It’s all about the story, strategy and distribution.
I started ripping apart computers in 1981 at my family’s computer store and working with networks on a 300 baud modem. I was consulting on Virtual Reality in the early 90’s and sat at the webmasters round table at Internet World. I had a podcast called Glimpse of Tomorrow on one of the first RSS distribution platforms and currently teach Social Media and Web 2.0 at Portland State University.
Currently looking to apply my unique experience in the creation, management and execution of interactive and new media campaigns that bring measurable, record-setting value to clients.

May 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)
Whether it's called Social Media, New Media or Internet Media it all comes back to the interactive and collaborative nature of the new web application platform that is referred to as Web 2.0. Social and viral, this iteration of the internet has changed the way we interact on and with the web. Understanding these changes and the new models is crucial. Did you know that social media drives as much traffic to websites as all the major search engines combined? If you care about search, you should care about social media.
