Keir McConomy of Spear.co.uk - 33 today - I taught him everything he knows

Affiliate Money Grabbers, people you should know written by Doug Scott

Happy Birthday Keir mate - 33 today.

Keir is the founder of Spear, which is an affiliate company which did over £75 million in affiliate sales last year.

Incase you did not know Keir was my web designer and then I showed him the light about SEO and PPC and off he went to setup Spear. We actually had a company together, but if any of you know the both of us, then you will realise it was a disaster waiting to happen.

I have no interest in the detail and do very very high level plans, which generally consist of some doodles on a piece of old paper. I then give these ideas to other people and trust them to work out the detail, I hardly interfere and let people find their own way. Then do some more doodles and change my mind as to what I want:)

Keir is anal about detail and likes to plan everything and be in control of the complete process. It works for him and Spear, but not with me around. So we parted ways business wise, but socially I see him all the time and love him popping in for a coffee, we live about 3 miles apart. Hence merchants and affiliate companies can do 2 birds in one visit:)

On a serious note, yes I introduced him to this online world, but he took the concepts and ran with them and I have utmost respect for what he has done. He has taken Spear within 3 years from being unheard of too being a major force in the online space in the UK. Well done you thoroughly deserve it.

Carl White - Valueclick

people you should know written by Doug Scott

Just thought I would do a bit of rambling about people I know in this industry and who I feel are influential……if I don’t know you and you feel like you are missing out, then please email and say hello:)

Carl White - CEO Valueclick Europe controls the European bit of a US$2 billion company

Carl White is first cause he probably controls the most cash…it’s not his though:)

Carl is a mad Birmingham City football supporter and seems to have been infected with that disease for 43 years, aside from that a generaly nice bloke, he tries to keep fit by cycling down hill each morning….wrong way sir.

But don’t be lulled into thinking cause he looks silly he is, far from it. He can talk rubbish with me and then must be good at playing corporate power games to be where he is.

He did a degree at Bristol University.

He held sales management positions at Gruner and Jahr, Media Week and Centaur Communications.

He worked for the BBC and did something on Walking with Dinosaurs, walk on part maybe:)

He was Chief Operating Officer of 24/7 Europe and was responsible for media and technology businesses in thirteen countries.

He joined ValueClick in October 2001 as Chief Operating Officer for ValueClick Europe and was promoted to Chief Executive Officer for Europe August 2006. Carl is responsible for the overall management and growth of ValueClick’s European subsidiaries: ValueClick Media, Commission Junction, Mediaplex and PriceRunner.co.uk across London, Munich, Paris and Stockholm.

When he gives me a large cheque for some of our stuff I will buy him a new bike.

Doug is going back to his bike
