Paul Slack - President & CEO

When I was just out of high school, I saw the movie, “Nothing in Common” with Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleason where Hanks plays an Advertising Executive. I remember thinking then how cool it would be to be in advertising.  In 2000, after more than 14 years in marketing and sales, I got my wish and started WebDex Media Group.

However, the world had changed a lot since that 1986 film release and if I was going to help companies promote their businesses today, it would be in the online world.  My passion in 2000 and today, is to help business leverage a new media that is continually evolving and tap in to near endless amounts of opportunity.  When WebDex opened our doors Facebook, YouTube, even pay per click didn’t exist.  In some ways it was much harder back then to extract value from the web because there were fewer people and fewer opportunities.  Today, it’s more about noise reduction and rifle focusing on those areas that will drive value as efficiently as possible.

Overtime, we have developed a rock star team of experts that are amazing at what they do and committed to generate results for our clients.  I am honored to be a part of this team and look forward to coming to the office every day.
