Thanks for coming to my personal site. Most of the content on this site is also found on BIA/Kelsey’s Local Media Watch, which includes material from other BIA/Kelsey analysts.
I am a Vice President with BIA/Kelsey, and run the Marketplaces program. Our vision is that local advertising is rapidly “verticalizing” and that vertical growth is self-perpetuating due to search and other variables.

Thought Leadership at Marketplaces 2010 in San Diego March 22-24.
