Michael Buechele’s Summary

Since the early 90s I've worked in publishing, both print and online. Before the Tech Bubble burst, I joined DoubleClick in NYC’s Silicon Alley to learn about adserving and the new media industry. Later, while at Operative, I went on to help some of the biggest and best publishers get even better; companies like Cartoon Network, Brightcove, Marvel Comics, National Public Broadcasting, CBS Radio, and NBC Universal. In 2007, I started 11|15 Media after seeing the tremendous opportunities in Performance Marketing, publishing and to have a platform to teach leadership. In late 2009 I joined ADTECH, an AOL company, as a Client Relations Manager. I’m currently writing a book on Motivation and Leadership.

Love what you do.
Help people.
Have fun.
Be creative.
Build community.
Goals begin in the heart.
Leave the world a better place than how you found it.
