Chris Hamby - VP Client Strategies

Chris Hamby started his media career in the early 90’s beta testing a web project for a billion dollar company his landlord was developing.  With his experience, he was eventually recruited as a consultant for a well known advertising agency, Valentine Radford. He assisted the first pilot project for Pizza Hut, and was involved in a number of Fortune 100 companies getting their start on the web.  What's unique about Chris' venture into the web world, is that he was a marketer but understood basic programming. This has proved to be his unique approach to the web during his tenure in web consulting and services.

 

From Valentine Radford, he was recruited to help launch the Kansas City Star’s website http://www.kcstar.com/ and http://www.kansascity.com/ which won 2 prestigious awards during his tenure there. He piloted banner advertising for the firm back in 1997. Owned by Disney, The Kansas City Star was sold to Knight Rider, a $40 billion media organization.  Soon after this acquisition, he was flown to Chicago to serve as a consultant for Cars.com prior to their initial launch for Knight Rider.  He then started his own online media agency in the Midwest. After moving to Hawaii, he began Aloha Media Group in 2006.  Aloha MediaGroup gained 40 new clients in 2007 and focuses on Web Analytics and website productivity.
