Michael Demby’s Summary

Hello, my name is Michael Demby. You might remember me from such companies like Tekmark Global Solutions, Hechkoff Executive Search, and Katz Radio Group. Yet most of you know me from the highly regarded boutique executive search firm, AC Lion (http://www.aclion.com), where I developed a deep interest/passion for the interactive/new media industry. AC Lion helped me realize my true strengths: networking, finding/developing leads, opening doors, and making the connection.

After setting a speed record at AC Lion by doubling the size of a fast rising ad network within 3 months, I decided to make a change. Low and behold, Didit Search Marketing (http://www.didit.com) was looking for someone recreate the way sales were made at the agency in a never been done before, completely open opportunity as Guerrilla Networker/Fearless Marketing Enthusiast.

Renamed Business Development Strategist, my role was not much different from that of late (find, open, and connect). The opportunity pit me against some of Fortune 500’s top executives where I target the Chief decision makers and connect them with my CEO with the close of business in mind.

CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO FOCUS MY HIGH ENERGY, STRONG KNOWLEDGE AND CONTACTS IN THE ONLINE WORLD AND USE MY EXPERTISE IN STRATEGIC MARKETING, NETWORKING, AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.

Bonus Extras:
I'm a tenured professional event consultant/DJ, a New Business Director for America's ONLY all Female DJ/Modeling agency (www.stadj.com), co-host for Digital Wednesdays, a national top salesman for The Learning Annex’s Donald Trump Wealth Expo, a scuba diver, a cigar connoisseur, an alto sax player, a rollerblader, and a HUGE music/movie buff. You can also find me connected on nearly every online social networking site and attending every offline social networking event. I can get you seen by the right people!

Michael Demby’s Specialties:

Professionalism, Networking, Strategic online business development marketing, and Connecting you with the right person.
