Meet the New Guy
After launching his career as a designer and UX professional, John has continued to rack up accomplishments in many areas of the digital space, including launching and growing the digital strategy discipline at The Richards Group and leading digital strategy for brands like The Home Depot, Travelocity, Chick-fil-A, Chrysler and The Salvation Army.
He’s also been responsible for notable firsts and award-winning work in social media, including some of the earliest influencer marketing efforts and early brand activation of social platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Wait, there’s more.
Outside of the office, John has gained recognition in other ways, previously being named to The Dallas Business Journal’s 40 under 40, and educating future digital marketing leaders as an adjunct professor in the MBA program at SMU’s Cox School of Business.
Finally, we can’t forget to mention that he’s a sought-after speaker for organizations like the AMA, AAAA’s and DFWIMA, and has been quoted in publications like Brandweek, Mediapost and The Wall Street Journal.
Whew. That’s enough … For now.
