Millennial Max

What

It's 2016, I'm working at mCordis & The Connected Marketer agency when this lightbulb goes off—why not blog about digital marketing through millennial eyes? My boss Michael Becker didn't just like the idea, he was like, "Start tonight!" So there I am, fresh from CES, brain buzzing with ideas, and boom—Millennial Max hits the internet!

My first post? It blew up. Way bigger than I expected! Riding that wave of momentum, I thought, "Why not go bigger?" So I started pitching to Adobe's CMO.com. Three contributors later (each one passing my stuff up the chain), their director calls me saying, "We want your voice."

For a whole year, I dropped monthly Millennial Max wisdom on CMO.com, talking about everything from marketing conferences to Pokémon GO. The cherry on top? Adobe flew me to their 2017 Summit where I got to moderate a panel of under-30 rising stars. Talk about a full-circle moment!
