These are people and organizations that I admire and follow. Some are clients, others are partners. Some I’ve met, and others I have never met but am influenced by their writings and opinions.

Clients and Partners

Influential Voices

Dr. Augustine Fou - The authority on Ad Fraud and Audience Authenticity. I have followed his readings for several years and have had a few very rewarding conversations with this generous leader. Our conversations led me to doing new things and finding new and better ways to ensure my clients’ precious marketing budgets are spent with optimal effectiveness.

Bob Hoffman, The AdContrarian - Author, Blogger, and thorn in the side of the digital marketing industrial complex. His books are on-point and deliver equal parts pain and hilarity. We need more critics like this. I don’t know him, personally, but hope to meet him at some point. I find him to accurate and morally correct in his scathing critique of digital platforms.

Avinash Kaushik, Occam’s Razor - Mr. Kaushik is an author, blogger and Google’s Digital Marketing Evangelist. His books are fantastic for their insight and tactical instruction. His blog is a deep, deep masterclass in digital data analysis. To say I admire him is an understatement. I hope to meet him one day. The content in his blog is deep and super useful. I think he shares my love of tactics.
