Jim Burns

I have been online since the early 1990’s when I pioneered the use of the Internet as a private investigator using search and email. Moving to online advertising in the early 2000's, I joined the inventors of pay per click advertising, Overture which then became Yahoo! Search Marketing. As a Senior Inside Sales Representative I acquired and managed the first paid search accounts for hundreds of companies including many Fortune 500s.

After several years, I moved from acquiring advertisers to publisher sales for the Lead Generation operations of Traffic Marketplace, one of the Internet’s largest independent advertising networks. I added Affiliate Marketing to my online repertoire at a couple of boutique performance marketing agencies including Inc. and OMMA award winning Ionic Media, where I also created the position of Email Marketing Manager implementing campaigns for clients like Bausch & Lomb and the Disney Movie Club.

Graduating to Online Marketing Manager at SmartQuote - one of the most well known comparison shopping sites in the mortgage marketplace - I helped to expand their product offerings as a quality lead provider for a variety of financial services.

As a Senior Specialist in Client Services at eBay Enterprise, I helped grow all aspects of the promotional Email programs for premier apparel companies like Bebe and SportChek, the largest sporting goods retailer in Canada.

Following up with some work in SEO, I moved into Influencer Marketing at Machinima, Warner Brothers' premier online video network reaching over 150 million subscribers and fans of video gaming content.
