After serveral senior management positions in consumer marketing, I decided to start Media Embassy in January 2006. In short time Media Embassy has grown out to be a leading agency that creates succesfull online business for media companies and advertisers. The company's expertise is in developing and executing innovative digital concepts and performance based marketing.
Late 2007, I was asked to join the award winning internet start-up Symbaloo.com in the role of CMO and investor.
Following the launch of the Social Media Monitor, an independent research study that measures the presence and activity of Top 100 brands in social media in 2009, we've launched Social Embassy. Social Embassy is a social media marketing agency that supports brands in successfully developing and implementing social media strategies.
