While representing former client (now Real Networks’) Trymedia and its portal Trygames.com, we acquired new Intellectual Property for distribution from publishers including Disney, UbiSoft, Take 2/2K Games, Cosmi, Avanquest, Capcom and others using Trymedia's ActiveMARK Technology. We increased affiliate distribution for Trygames.com by securing programs with GameStop, AOL, Buy.com, Big Fish Games and numerous other web portals.

At River_Gold  we acquired data assets from Lycos and worked with other ISPs, telecoms and related businesses to increase the efficiency of the WordTracker tools this organization resells to SMBs looking to maximize their SEO budgets.

In 2007, we established US-based affiliate programs for PopFax, an online fax service, and served as the original Country Managers for North America. In this latter role, we identified, negotiated and contracted back office service suppliers from among RBOCs, ISPs and CLECs to establish the infrastructure necessary to launch the service domestically. @Sales & Marketing also completed agreements for affiliate programs for Classical_Archives with Yamaha, NARAS (Grammys), a national trade organization serving music retailers, and a New England symphonic orchestra.
