Magazines E-newsletters Direct Mail Social Media Blogs Awards Around The Office “Jim is an extremely smart guy . . . an accomplished writer ...an extraordinarily hard worker with a steely determination to achieve his objectives." — Peter Hoyt, Founder, Hoyt Publishing:

		BNP Media needed a new editor to help integrate social media with the printed product. I very quickly increased traffic to Facebook and website pages and boosted followers on Twitter and LinkedIn. For a consulting client, I started a design blog to help a B2B magazine develop an ancillary source of revenue. Hoyt Publishing Co. wanted to expand into a new market, so it hired me to start Home Décor Buyer, a tabloid-size new products magazine. A small, family-owned publishing company from Malibu, Calif., asked me to help it start a new magazine for food and beverage executives. Cahners management recruited me to be the editor in chief of Hotels. I was recruited by Cahners management to fix Professional Builder. When I arrived, the magazine was mailing 17 days late. Advertisers weren't happy. I took the initiative to develop a weekly outbound e-mail campaign. *"this week in home décor"* quickly became the industry's most respected newsletter. It also served as a powerful marketing and promotional piece.
