Wpromote featured on “Countdown to the Closing Bell” on Fox Business
LOS ANGELES (FOX) – Attending Dartmouth College in 2001, Mike recognized the need for a greater digital visibility for all businesses. Wpromote was born out of Mike’s Dartmouth College dorm room in 2001 as a way to help companies garner and increase their online presence through Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. “It was a lucrative hobby at the time,” said Mothner. During the Fall semester of his Senior year at Dartmouth, Mike went through corporate recruiting for banking and consulting. He had made it to the final round of interviews at Goldman Sachs in New York, when he had a life changing moment.

Sometimes predictions can be right on, sometimes they can be a little hasty. What’s always true is that bold prophecies about the “end of _____” are always entertaining, if not a little foreboding. This week, on the Tues News, I’m bringing to light three interesting theories about “the end” of various things that we have become very accustom to. Without further ado, let’s get going! The End of … Continue reading
