Q: What do you do at your company? Every day, we work side-by-side with our publisher partners to grow their business. As founders, we have worked alongside well over 9,000 sales professionals, during our careers. We’ve built audiences and executed marketing programs for Fortune 1000 publishers, regional magazines and small businesses. The January Spring team are hand-selected digital natives with deep experience in their area of expertise - audience development, social, search, and programmatic advertising.
Q: What's new at January Spring? We are still smiling from our recent industry award. The award recognizes our partnership with a regional magazine publisher who underwent a complete digital transformation this year. We assisted them in every aspect of the transformation: multi-media audience development, social media and search traffic execution, newsletter efficiencies, digital advertising, and subscription e-commerce. Now, we are helping this same publisher with a suite of revenue extension offerings to help their own advertisers reach new clients.
Q: What hobbies or activities do you enjoy doing? We are dog-lovers, so many of our activities revolve around our four-legged furries. We are fortunate to live in Colorado, so spending time in our mountains always tops the list.
