About Mark Regan

I live and breathe it – everything I talk about here

Online marketing, search marketing, web analytics, SEO, whatever you want to call it, that’s my life.
During the day, I manage the Internet marketing initiatives of Coast Dental in Tampa, FL. By that, I mean I do it. There is no team or staff under me to do the daily grind. It’s just me. And I love it that way.

In the other hours of my life I do this site, some money-making and hobby sites, plus I work with a few clients through my real-world company: Flat World Media. Every day I literally get to develop, implement, analyze and oversee all parts of:

Email marketing Search Engine Optimization Pay-Per-Click Landing Page creation and optimization Web analytics Social media marketing Reputation management Mobile Marketing

Blogging Content Creation Link building Keyword Research Lead Nurturing Local Search Marketing Display/Banner advertising Affiliate Marketing

Content Management Systems Website development Microsites B2B and B2C online marketing Lead generation E-Commerce marketing Video Marketing

How’d I get here?

I grew writing up ‘hello world’ code that did nothing useful. Was the first one on my block to have CompuServe and then email in the late 80’s. After a degree in Computer Science from the University of Florida and a few years cutting my teeth at IBM I worked for 10 years at Cisco Systems. There I downloaded Mosaic and waited for pictures I didn’t care about to download to my machine. This Internet was cool.

After my tenure with Cisco, where I picked up an MBA from Duke University as my door prize, I moved closer to Marketing. I eventually landed where I am today, that uncomfortable spot in between Marketing and Technology/IT. Some call me a Marketing Technologist, a Digital Strategist, a Searchologist or even worse.

I just know not many people like to play both sides of the fence. But I do and I find that here I get to perform at my peak and help those on either side of the fence do some phenomenal things.
