Eureka Moment: Working as VP of marketing at US Search in Marina Del Rey, I saw the amazing return we were getting from search engine optimization. When US Search was bought out and my division moved to Florida in April 2004, I decided that starting an Internet ad agency was the logical next step. To a certain extent this move was dumb luck, as Internet marketing turned out to be one of the hottest growth sectors in America.

Secret to Success: Our secret is to offer our clients great value and excellent service with a bunch of really innovative solutions that generate a great return on investment.

Long-Term Strategy: There are really two areas of growth: geographic and product expansion. On the geographic front we know that expansion into Europe and Latin America are our logical next steps. We also plan on expanding our product offering with special emphasis on online video and mobile devise offerings.

Biggest Challenge: High growth and rapid changes in our marketplace are constant challenges.

Fresh Ideas: We see marketing on mobile devices as the biggest opportunity right now. We have some great ideas for applications that can take advantage of this exciting medium.
