Partial list of clients: Bacardi, Center for Missing Children, CWDKids, First Amendment Schools, Georgetown University, Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, The DC Center, United Way, Universal Gear, and Winchester Homes. www.interactivestrategies.com Bruce Namerow, President and Chief Strategist Bruce has always been fascinated by both technology and marketing - two interests seemingly at odds with each other - until the emergence of the Internet. In 1994 Bruce approached his boss, then-Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt, to suggest that the Congressman consider a website to help communicate his agenda to the public. While the idea was originally rejected, Bruce's new career was born, and he soon left politics to follow his passion in the nascent Internet field. Bruce then joined Magnet Interactive/AKQA, a leading national interactive agency. Quickly climbing to the level of senior producer, he helped shape and implement online strategies for Fortune 500 clients such as First USA/Bank One, DuPont, Accenture, USAA Insurance and more. He briefly became a partner at ThreeSpot Media, working on accounts for Discovery Channel and US News and World Report. In 2001, Bruce formed Interactive Strategies with the fervent belief that Web agencies could do better by taking a more strategic and holistic approach to website development. To achieve this goal, Bruce recruited a talented team of diverse individuals, anal of whom are experts in their respective fields of consulting, design, content, programming, and marketing.
