I have worked with Jamie since 2001 and would highly recommend him. He is extremely well-known and highly regarded in the world of performance marketing. Since Jamie has handled accounts as an in-house affiliate program manager, an OPM and now as the owner of his own consulting business, he has seen the industry from all sides. As a result, you could not find anyone in the industry with a broader perspective and a deeper understanding. I therefore would give Jamie my unqualified recommendation.Paul Nichols :: Director, SalesEbates.com
Jamie is one of a handful of true affiliate industry experts. Ever since I first met him many years ago, he has been my go-to guy for answers to hard affiliate business questions. He is a true entrepreneur, and he continually amazes me with all of the ways he immerses himself in the industry. Jamie is a passionate advocate for both sides of the affiliate relationship equation. I cannot recommend him highly enough.Julie Barile :: eMarketing ManagerAvon Products, Inc.
