Media-Corps

Robert founded Media-Corps in 2007, as a U.S. solution to improve the advertising sales performance of The Globe and Mail south of the border. And that he did; so much so that Media-Corps turned into a dual-client sales organization only a year later with the addition of La Presse/Gesca, the highly respected media division of Power Corp. In 2010, C... anada's largest magazine publisher and major digital aggregator, Transcontinental Media (now known as TC Media), was added. From there, the web portal Sympatico, of Canada's media power-house Bell Media, came on board, and then their video division. The fast paced growth of Media-Corps showed that the US advertising market needed a new alternative to service American ad buyers and marketers. Media and entrepreneurship have been in Robert's blood since he was a child. He got his first taste of both with his Montreal Gazette newspaper route, in Beaconsfield, Quebec. After graduating from Western Canada's Simon Fraser University, Robert joined the Globe and spent the first 12 years of his career learning the ropes of the media industry through various progressive sales positions. His expanding responsibilities took him from managing territories in Toronto, Montreal, Europe and then finally to the States with the opening of Media-Corps. Robert is a student of the media world and is a huge believer in orchestrating successful media campaigns by using as many channel touch points as affordable to break through the to the time stretched consumer. He's also a huge believer in keeping people happy - his clients in the media agencies and marketing companies, the media content providers themselves and his staff. He's a guy that makes things happen. If you have a problem or an opportunity, he'll find a great solution and that's the kind of spirit he's infiltrated throughout the organization, across five offices in the U.S. Although the office location is almost irrelevant, as they connect virtually and travel frequently to effectively service their clients.Read More
