Jodi Stout

An internet entrepreneur, world traveler and truth-seeker, Jodi began launching web businesses in 1996, well before Google even existed. With a marketing background, an obsession with technology and a heaping dose of entrepreneurial spirit, she birthed a thriving business that brought millions of dollars in revenue and triple digit returns to her clients.

The late nineties and early 2000’s saw massive, sweeping shifts in the online business climate; from the internet bubble and subsequent burst to the wild explosion of web-based technologies. During this tumultuous time, Jodi continued to forge through the clutter and form numerous successful online business ventures, pioneering some of the most innovative online marketing strategies.

She created and commissioned custom software programs for researching, tracking and analyzing results and ultimately got the attention of Google when they called, angry that she was “manipulating” their engine. Explaining that “optimization” was much different than “manipulation” and taking a trip to Mountain View to discuss the matter with Matt Cutts, Jodi gained an immense amount of understanding about how the future of search was projected to change.

Always a forward-thinker, Jodi has kept her finger on the pulse of internet marketing trends, implementing hundreds of multivariate strategies to identify the most effective techniques of connecting with a target audience online.

However, anyone that has attempted to build an online business knows that the lightning-speed evolution of platforms and best practices creates an intense race to stay ahead of the crowd.

Understanding that years of experience, however powerful, would not be enough to catapult results in today’s rapid-fire internet marketing domain, Jodi re-enrolled in college to earn an advanced degree in New Media Communications from Full Sail University. This intense 2-year program provided a robust set of new skills and cutting-edge knowledge of today’s most important new media strategies and emerging technologies including:

  • Transmedia Storytelling
  • Neuromarketing
  • Social Media Strategies
  • Writing for the Web
  • Multi-Media Content Creation
  • Mobile Communications/App Development
  • PR and Reputation Management
