About Geoff Linton

In over 30 years of my career, I believe business is part Art and part Science... and doing the right things. Whether I have my business entrepreneur or marketer hat on... it's fun to "connect" and "build" and make an impact! As a Certified Digital Advisor for CDAP and a CMA "Chartered Marketer", I've been fortunate to work with leading companies in creating marketing ecosystems and proving that marketing matters. It has always been about continuous learning...my engineering background provided me a critical thinking base combined with some great international experiences; the MBA provided the strategic base and entry into sports marketing; and my database marketing experience at the Loyalty Group and in consulting provided me with more Fortune 500 experience. Growing my digital agency forced me to always be forward thinking and act as a catalyst for improvement. The key has been to produce measurable results that can be monetized. The digital marketing and messaging business is fun and dynamic. Amazing things happen when you work with great people on interesting projects!
