Meet Our Cast of Marketing Experts

Founder / CEO

Movies have been a major influence on my life since I first saw an audience react to watching The Empire Strikes Back in a movie theatre with my Grandfather. I’ve been involved in the movie business for 20-years - working in movie theatres, producing and distributing films, and ultimately found my passion for marketing the cinema experience. With so many challenges for our entertainment time, going to the movies remains a magical experience. To be able to be still, be immersed and escape into the story and there’s no place better than a great seat in a movie theatre.
