Matt Skallerud’s Summary

I help companies reach gays & lesbians on the Internet, using traditional means (banner ads and e-mail) as well as more specialized means including blogs, Youtube videos, Facebook and more.

About Me:
GLBT Internet Entrepreneur - founded GayWired.com in 1995 and subsequently created a network of sites including LesbiaNation.com, GaySports.com, GayBusinessWorld.com and GayMonkey.com, to name a few. Also created GLBT B-to-B sites GayLinkContent.com and GayMediaExpress.com.

Having sold these sites, I am now focusing on PinkBananaMedia.com, helping companies large and small reach GLBT consumers online.

My focus is online marketing, starting with the basics of banner ads and e-mail, but expanding into the more advanced world of blogs, social networking and online video, and how those components can tie into an overall online marketing campaign including banner ads for some of the best performance for his clients.

My goal is to work with companies wishing to increase the efficiency and performance of their online marketing endeavors, using some of the tried and tested of the past few years and merging with some of the new, since “new” is where the eyeballs are continually migrating to on a daily basis.
