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.
