Search Mojo's initial advisory board members includes George

decade of Internet marketing experience. In 2003, George co-founded
EyeTraffic Media, LLC, a consulting firm that provides strategic
direction and program management of interactive marketing initiatives
as part of an integrated advertising approach. Companies such as
Pfizer, Harvard Business School Publishing, Mazda USA, and Chevron have
partnered with EyeTraffic Media to support their search marketing
efforts, online media buying, mobile and viral marketing campaigns, as
well as other integrated lead generation programs.
Prior to starting EyeTraffic Media, George served as director of client
services at Proxicom, Inc. where he managed the implementation of
marketing, branding, and commerce programs through the Internet. At
Proxicom, George was an integral part of several strategic web
engagements for Fortune 500 companies, including ExxonMobil, Nike,
Merrill Lynch, and Toyota USA. Early career work included working with
the Disney Company as an integral part of their public relations team
to raise appreciation for new public projects and theme park ventures.
George is a frequent speaker at industry conferences on topics such as
Internet marketing, branding strategies, and emerging media. In
addition, he regularly teaches classes on interactive and integrated
marketing at the University of Maryland, The American University, and
the University of Virginia. George earned his bachelor's degree in
marketing from the University of Maryland and his MBA in international
marketing and information systems from The American University in
Washington, D.C.
Serial entrepreneur Tom Lueker joined Search Mojo's advisory board as
well, having recently co-founded Zipminder, an automated email reminder
service for businesses. Prior to Zipminder, Tom co-founded and served
as CMO for WebSurveyor Corporation, overseeing its sale in 2006. With
more than 21 years of experience in software marketing, sales, and
development, Tom's strategic leadership and insight helped WebSurveyor
evolve from a traditional software vendor into the leading provider of
do-it-yourself online surveys.
Prior to co-founding WebSurveyor, Tom directed strategic business
alliances and acquisitions for Landmark Systems Corporation (acquired
by Allen Systems Group) and helped formulate the marketing strategy
that enabled the 14 year-old private software company to successfully
complete its IPO in 1997. Prior to joining Landmark, Tom served as a
product manager for Seer Technologies (acquired by Level8), where he
was responsible for driving the strategic direction of the $12.5
million repository at the core of Seer's HPS enterprise software
development platform.

Andersen, Tom established himself as an expert in IBM's DB2 relational
database while designing, developing, implementing, and supporting AGB
