MJD

Overview

Online Marketing is both an art and a science. Our award winning design and marketing teams work closely together to ensure that the creative sparkles and the campaign performs - meeting or exceeding your specified goals. We believe our job is to create demand. To drive response. To deliver results. Our success is based on your success. We call this the MJD Performance Model®.

Jeremy Duimstra, Founding Partner

Jeremy Duimstra formed his first interactive media company in 1997 while he was still a student at Michigan State University where he received a BA in Studio Art and Interactive Design. Clients included Amway Corporation, the Smithsonian Institution, Universal Studios and Dreamworks. Jeremy relocated to California in 2000 and co-founded PixelRocket, a Carlsbad-based Web marketing firm. In May of 2002 he moved a bit further south and founded Glimpse Interactive in downtown San Diego, which has now become MJD Interactive Agency, located in Pacific Beach.

An avid public speaker, Mr. Duimstra speaks nationally to groups to help them harness the power of online marketing to achieve real, measurable results. Specific topics include search engine marketing (SEO & PPC) and social network marketing. Jeremy focuses these discussions on a mix of best practices, case studies and the real nuts & bolts how-to information that are required to take actionable items away from the event.

A graduate of Harvard Business School's Taking Marketing Digital Program, Jeremy is constantly looking to learn new things about the digital world around us. Part of learning is giving back what you know to the community, and to achieve that Jeremy serves as the Adjunct Professor of Web Marketing Strategies at the University of California, San Diego Extension Campus.

In June of 2009 Jeremy was elected to the San Diego Ad Club's Board of Directors where he serves as the Membership Chair and sits on the Interactive Committee.

Jeremy's lucky number is 12, and that also happens to be his phone extension, so give him a ring if you have any questions.

Michael Maginnis, Founding Partner

Michael Maginnis started his career client side as the marketing manager for a 30 million dollar technology company. It was there he honed his marketing skills in all mediums and helped grow the company 30% in just two years. During this time he helped launch the company's first website and found his passion for the web.

Michael moved from Connecticut to San Diego and spent five years working for one of the top interactive agencies in the country, SiteLab International. Mr. Maginnis learned his way up from Account Executive to Director of Business Development by providing cutting edge, successful online solutions for companies such as LG Electronics, WD-40, LA Fitness, and Sony Pictures. Michael is a hands on co-founder at MJD Interactive and uses his knowledge and experience to provide a dedicated level of service and industry leading solutions. Michael has a BA in Consumer Behavior with dual minors in Marketing/Psychology from the University of Connecticut.

Michael's lucky number is 23, and he has more skills than Michael Jordan. Give him a call at that extension if you have any questions.

Steve Babbitt, Chief Technology Officer

Steve has been developing web sites since 1995, but he really started programming in the days of Max Headroom and War Games, making Madlibs in B.A.S.I.C. on his Apple IIe in his bedroom as a 6th grader. Yes, he HAS kissed a girl (married to Tammie since 1996, father of three great kids who are waaaaay smarter than he is)!

Since those primordial days of the Web, Steve has been helping companies small and large maximize online relationships. Steve has developed incredibly complex, award winning sites for Government, Higher Education, Multinational Corporations and Non-Profits as well as Mid-Size Companies and Small Businesses.

Steve earned a BA in Journalism from Point Loma Nazarene University, and continues to write for local, national and international publications. After earning his degree, Steve went into Public Relations, serving clients such as Airwalk Shoes, Nautilus Fitness Equipment, and many more.

While he was making waves in San Diego as an up-and-coming PR professional, Steve found himself constantly offering his web development skills as a "value-added." Eventually, the demand for web development eclipsed demand for public relations services, and Steve devoted himself full-time to web development. Steve's extensive background in Journalism and Public Relations give him a seasoned marketing advantage that most developers never come by.

The challenge with web technology is that it's in a state of perpetual evolution. To stay ahead of the curve, Steve has mastered an evolving set of tools, including PHP, Flash, Drupal, Joomla!, CMX and many, many more.
