About Jim Barr (Aka Doc Pow)

Pic: #SkiSilverStar, just outside of Vernon. During these most "interesting" of times, the list of adventures never gets any shorter; my decisions are made by opportunities for enlightenment. I believe you can choose wisely and live in a world filled with awe and wonder.As a die-hard fan of the snow and with my excitement for the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler Olympics, I harnessed both by establishing a digital media company, Seekers Media. Over its 12-year history, the company has grown into one of Canada's leading content production & content marketing companies. Seekers Media collaborates with influencers, destinations, and brands around trackable and targeted marketing solutions, campaigns that can include Seekers' three media brands:1) www.SnowSeekers.ca2) www.ZenSeekers.com3) www.FestivalSeekers.comIt's been 25 years that I've worked in various production, sales, and marketing capacities within the entertainment/travel, economic development and media industries. Before Seekers - as a freelance journalist - my scribe was carried in major Canadian daily newspaper's snow and travel sections. I've also had my stories published in several North American-based publications.I am the founder of a climb for a cause supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters, a program that has brought in tens of thousands of dollars and over 150 new volunteers for the charities' in-school mentoring programs.Causes, media & conferences I have spoke at recently:^GrowingTheNorth^YES!
