Personal Profile at LinkedIn : (URL removed)
I have decided to expand the global property that I've been cultivating and growing for 6 years. I am considered among the world's thought leaders in the experiential marketing methodology - the fastest growing methodology in the space. The EMF has served, in the past, as my global publishing platform and I had a global consultancy that had billings in excess of 5 MM per year. With that particular company I wasn't looking to grow it to be the biggest - I just wanted to be the best. I was able to achieve that goal with blue chip clients, and global speaking and consulting arrangements. The EMF has been in operation since 2004. I am looking to extend the brand in a myriad of spaces including an ad practice called EpicenterX as well as a conference series under the same name - The Experiential Marketing Forum. I moved to the SE to be close to my mother to be with her as she went through her final days battling terminal cancer. During that time I wound down my first shop and took a job at the world's largest ad agency in Atlanta as that was where my mom lived. I am now ready to get back to business. I have an excellent reputation globally, and I already have RFP's in the pipeline - some in excess of 10 MM to 20 MM annually. It is fair to say that i am looking for the right amount of money to leverage my existing brand by hiring the right talent and once again becoming a practitioner in the space. I am in the very preliminary stages and am looking for smart money to help be a part of the next global advertising powerhouse.
