What began as a small business idea quickly turned into something far more significant for James. In 1998 he created FreeMousePads.com in his basement. It didn't take very long before a pioneering U.S Advertising firm saw the value and promise in this company and made an offer James couldn't refuse.
James then delved into some of his other passions: web design and video production. But as an entrepreneur at heart, he knew creating another company was something he simply had to do. And he did.
In 2005, James created Canadiansponsors.com, the first Performance Based Advertising network focused entirely on Canada. And in a very short amount of time, the company developed a strong presence in Europe, Australia and North America as well.
Since then Canadiansponsors.com has grown by at least 25% per year and has expanded to include adjump media and other extensive lead generation properties.
