Rob Walker’s Summary

I am an Internet Marketing professional focused on driving business results through digitally connected channels.

By originating business objectives, developing sound strategies, and executing high impact tactics I have created several new revenue streams over the last 10 years.

I grew APC's direct channel business over 200% in 3 years. I developed several online businesses for FortuneCity.com during the dotcom bubble and bust periods. At CA I reversed declining online sales of several software titles by deploying a free-to-paid model. And at Crayola I have developed and executed strategies that help move this 100+ year old brand into the digital age.

I love what I do!
