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 founded the on-air promotion department 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 actively looking for opportunities to deliver my current keynote speech or workshop on internet marketing, "EBiz Express: What Every Business Should Know About Internet Marketing" and have recently authored an ebook with this same title.
I am also an avid golfer, have a golf blog, TheJoyofGolfing.com, and I am developing a more inspiring and uplifting keynote speech: "Winning with Ease: Life Lessons Learned from Golf."
