Relevant24
Start-Up

I developed and implemented a proprietary agile marketing process that leverages emotional, interest, contextual and 1st / 3rd party data for every moment, audience and digital platform. This iterative strategic and creative process is designed for a continuous flow of experimentation, discovery and improvement, while dramatically increasing a brands speed to market. It works to establish a brand position, leads product innovation and improves the quality and effectiveness of their message.
Fort Franklin
Start-Up
Founder / CEO
After the successful exit of Cider Jack, I turned the brand I built into my first client and founded the marketing agency Fort Franklin. For eleven years Fort Franklin achieved steady growth from their clients ESPN, Timberland, The NHL, Gadsby Hannah (Business Law) and Danvers Bank, generating over $47M in total revenue. In 2005 my contributions to the Boston business community were celebrated by being named one of Boston Business Journals 40 under 40 entrepreneurs.
Tauntr.com
Start-Up
Founder / CEO
In 2008 while running Fort Franklin, I raised money to start Tauntr.com, an online publishing media property that created daily content against sports and pop culture. I leveraged everything he learned in publishing from Tauntr.com to create a new agency model in Relevant24. I sold Fort Franklin to Connelly Partners in 2011 to focus on building Relevant24 to its full potential and ultimately its acquisition by the global holding company, Publicis Groupe in 2014.
