    Valued Interactive Media is an online advertising network. The formula is simple... buy an online banner impression and use audience data to understand who is seeing the impression then sell it to an advertiser for more than you paid for it. Do that millions of times and you have yourself a profitable reputable market changing, forming and leading online business. Launching the VIM brand into New Zealand and building a team on the ground to sell and execute the dream was a career changing venture and one that has armed me with a stronger arsenal of tools that span; advertising, media, technology and business.
