Jon Leland’s Summary
I have been a leading communication expert and innovator for over 30 years.
In the seventies, I founded one of the first narrowcast radio networks. In the eighties, I was a cable TV pioneer and was the founding director of creative services at the USA Network. And, in the nineties, I wrote and produced original video programs including two interactive TV "future vision" videos for Pacific Bell, an interactive TV prototype application for Oracle Corporation which was displayed at Disney World's Epcot Center, and "The Digital Video-Video," which received sponsorship support from eight companies including Adobe, Avid, Media 100 and Videography magazine.
Today, I lead ComBridges in serving a wonderful array of clients with custom website & Flash design, database application development and the creation and implementation of internet marketing campaigns.
I am also an avid golfer, and I am actively looking for opportunities to deliver my new inspiring and uplifting keynote speech "Winning with Ease: The Power of Stress-Free Performance as Discovered through Golf." A book is also in the works. A 1-sheet promo on the keynote is available upon request. Hear it free now before we start charging big bucks. ;)
