Think Big Online has just released a brand new Internet Marketing Consultant Service aimed at helping business owners set up and maintain an integrated marketing strategy.

In the last few years that Samuel Junghenn owner of Think Big Online has been working with businesses hes found the number one problem, which they encounter is how to integrate offline and online marketing campaigns. Further to that they also have issues with how to integrate all the online marketing channels as well.

For a business to truly succeed online there needs to be an integrated marketing strategy that combines online and offline marketing efforts. This way the business owner isnt trying to run two separate marketing strategies, which are not complimenting each other.

In my experience with businesses over the last few years the most successful strategies are where the online and offline strategies integrate and promote each other. Its also important for a business to have continuity of brand experience, so both the online and offline customer expect and experience the same thing. Says Samuel Junghenn owner of Think Big Online.

As part of the launch of the new Internet Marketing Consultant Service Think Big Online is offering for a limited time free Internet marketing strategy reviews. Business owners who would like their current strategy reviewed, or a new strategy developed can talk directly with trained and experienced Internet Marketing Consultants.

The reviews are free and will give business owners actionable advice to implement into their business. To register for a free Internet marketing strategy review visit: http://www.ThinkBigOnline.com/internet-marketing-consultant/

Several years ago Glenview entrepreneur Bob Hunt left his job as a trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and decided to put his Internet marketing talents to good use by launching his own company aimed at helping local businesses optimize their online presence.

Deviating from the traditional 9-5 corporate career, the 34-year-old Hunt now works as his own boss operating The B24 Group, a start-up Internet marketing company that offers a variety of online marketing services to businesses in the North Shore area and beyond.

Two years since starting his company, Hunt has so far proven himself as a successful business owner, adding more than 25 clients and four employees to what started as a one-man endeavor in 2010.

Working around-the-clock from anywhere with an Internet connection, Hunt is focused on helping local businesses grow by widening their customer bases and increasing sales through a variety of tools including automated lead capture and follow-up systems, Google Places optimization, specialized YouTube videos, and text message marketing.

Hunts list of Internet marketing services has expanded during the two years since he started The B24 Group, but the initial idea for the company started with his objective to help businesses increase their search engine optimization, or achieve better rankings on Google search results pages.

Hunt, a Glenview native and graduate of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, first got his feet wet in Internet marketing after he left his job as a trader in 2004 and started following his interests in marketing and web site creation.

Fully confident that the last place he wanted to be was in an office working for someone else, Hunt began deeper exploration of his personal interests and talents by writing e-books on topics like dating, silver and gold investing, and a variety of health topics including pet health.

Needing an effective way to get readers to find his e-books online, he taught himself the best ways to use SEO to get his sites ranked higher on Google search results pages.

Company Highlights

The Company's consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 include the financial results of its Vertro subsidiary from March 2012 forward, prior year periods do not contain financial results of the Vertro subsidiary.

"The second quarter 2012 is the first full quarter of combined results since our merger with Vertro, stated Peter Corrao, Chief Executive Officer of Inuvo. We recorded positive adjusted EBITDA and we expect adjusted EBITDA to increase throughout the year. Our alOt live user base grew and search queries increased 15% in Tier 1 markets as we added new users in Tier 1 markets while expanding marketing efforts in 7 new countries. Our Partner Programs segment experienced rapid development, growing both in revenue and gross profit. Going forward, we plan to continue these operational improvements and generate increased revenue through initiatives, such as dual-display advertising, that have already contributed to our preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately $4.6 million for the month of July.

Three Month Financial Results for the period ended June 30, 2012

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, were $12.9 million, up 39.7% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit increased 64.7% to $6.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. These increases were due primarily to revenue from the Companys Software Search segment as a result of the merger with Vertro.

Net revenue from the Software Search segment was $5.5 million, or 42.7% of total revenues. As this segment derives from the merger with Vertro and this is the first full quarter of combined operations and financial results.

Net revenue from the Partner Programs segment increased 131.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 primarily due to revenue derived from partner programs associated with the alOt operations acquired in the merger with Vertro on March 1, 2012.

Revenue from the Publisher Network segment decreased 40.4% to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in the number of transactions driven through our owned and operated websites and through third party affiliates using the ValidClick platform. Revenue from the Publisher Network has been volatile and while revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased 40.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, and decreased 14% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, we did see signs of stability and moderate recovery in revenue in the latter part of the quarter.

Red Ventures, the rapidly growing Internet marketing firm based in Fort Mill, is planning a major expansion, it said Tuesday.

The company has acquired 16 acres of land next to its headquarters in 521 Corporate Center Park, just south of Ballantyne. That expansion is expected to create 1,000 new jobs over the next five years, Red Ventures said.

The tech firm currently owns 17 acres for its 150,000-square-foot campus, where amenities include an indoor basketball court, putting green and cafe with subsidized meals.

"The next few years will be full of challenges and opportunities, and we are hoping to double the size of our current workforce," Red Ventures chief executive Ric Elias said. "This additional land will allow us to grow, while also maintaining the unique, employee-friendly environment we've created."

The company, which expects to grow by 30 percent in 2012, plans to begin the expansion with the development of a third building by the end of the year. The firm employs about 1,500 workers in its four offices in Miami, San Antonio, Wilmington and Fort Mill, including nearly 1,000 at its headquarters. That's up from 300 workers when the company moved to South Carolina in 2009.

Red Ventures works with brand partners in the areas of entertainment, data and Internet, small-business solutions, security, energy and software services. To learn more or apply for jobs, visit http://www.redventures.com/careers.
