I’m James Kupka. This is my bio – there are many like it, but this one is mine.

WHO:

“I know nothing except the fact of my own ignorance. ”

Were I to have said those words 2400 years ago, I’d have been the wisest man in Athens.  Today, saying that – knowing that – just makes me an experimenter.  In the Venn diagram of ‘art’, ’science’ and ‘business’, I do my level best to exist in the intersection.

WHAT, WHEN & HOW:

I’ve made a career out of experimentation entirely within the realm of digital advertising.  My first gig out of school was with Netscape. I left and started up several websites & an ad-network called Rydium.  I helped launch an early SaaS play, Kyozou shortly after that. I joined Epic Advertising early & had a front-row seat for the explosion of digital direct marketing.  The folks at PartnerWeekly honeyed my ear & enticed me to the desert for a change of scenery.  With a baby on the way, my wife & I were inspired to move back home to Canada; I started up Intimate Interactive on arrival home & have been building & delivering digital direct marketing campaigns from our Toronto office since.

PERSONAL PROFILE:

A productive mix of A.D.D and O.C.D, I’m sarcastic by nature and stoic by choice. I stick strongly to a set of personal ethics that include rigorous daily exercise, gluttonous eating, constant work and an ongoing effort to moderate my need to be moderate.

Adventure calls, duty drives.
