Jim Link Email & Phone Number

If it takes 10,000 hours to reach mastery in a cognitively demanding field, what happens after 60,000 hours? While the English language lacks a word for advanced mastery, in the world of new product strategy, idea generation and product positioning, it is lived by Jim Link.Jim Link has spent nearly his entire career – over thirty years – focused on one thing: the generation, refinement and positioning of new ideas. Within that focus, he’s built a rich array of source material from which he continually draws creative and strategic inspiration. With experience in over 160 diverse categories, a near-encyclopedic recall for stories, examples, and analogies, and a level of curiosity bordering on obsessive, Jim possesses a fluency for ideas and strategy others find remarkable.An engaging teacher, Jim possesses a similar fluency in guiding and inspiring others to new thinking and insights, a talent for which he’s hired again and again. His client roster includes many of the world’s biggest and brightest companies, in both B2C and B2B settings, and across five continents.Jim believes that “the best kind of marketing is not needing any.” True to his quote, Jim has built his company, Idea-Link, Inc., entirely on repeat business and referrals, not once actively seeking projects since its founding in 1994. Several clients have hired him over fifty times; one, more than one hundred. That kind of loyalty is hard-earned. Jim would have it no other way.
