Management Team: Michael Kubin
A 30-year veteran of the media industry, Kubin has managed a significant string of successful entrepreneurial ventures.
At his first media buying company, Corinthian Media Buying, Kubin was integral in the creation and growth of its DR subsidiary, Corinthian Direct, which grew to over $100-million in billings after just three years. After Corinthian, Kubin became president of Club Med Inc., the travel company’s US subsidiary.
With Club Med as his first client, Kubin co-founded Media Incorporated, which along with its DR subsidiary, Media Direct Partners, was sold to IPG (The Interpublic Group) in 1996. Kubin then went on to co-found Evaliant Media Resources, a Web-based advertising tracking firm, which was sold to CMR (Taylor Nelson Sofres) in 2002.
A member of several corporate boards of directors, Kubin has a BS in operations research from Cornell, an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Masters in Journalism from Columbia. His articles have been published in the New York Observer and The New Yorker.
