President/CEO at Medium Click, LLC
Greater Los Angeles Area
Online Marketing has always been the primary focus of my professional career. Currently, I am the President/CEO at Medium Click which is a new online marketing company that I recently cofounded. For the past seven years, I have been working both in house and as a consultant for companies including GoEcuador.com, TEMA Contemporary Furniture, USA Real Estate License, RealtyTracker, Lowfares.com, Murad, Kelley Blue Book, Artbeads.com, Teleflora and SHOP.COM.
I spent my early career at agency structured companies working on large interactive projects for such clients as AT&T, John Hancock, IBM, Lipton, Travelocity, several P&G Brands and Pfizer, to name a few. My first position was as one of the producers on AT&T's 1996 Olympic Games Interactive Initiative, which was the top commercial Olympic Internet site and advertising campaign for the 1996 Atlanta Games. The initiative was the recipient of numerous industry awards and press recognition, including two 1996 CASIE awards, a 1996 Mar.com award, and a 1997 ADDY Award. I received my B.S. Degree in Television, Film and New Media Production from San Diego State University.
