Joseph Coyle, Digital Sales Manager, Sinclair Broadcasting Group

Joseph Coyle's career in the digital marketing space began in 2002 with Google. During his time with Google, he worked closely with Adwords reseller groups talking through the now ZMOT (micro-moments) concept of marketing and also spent some time in Tokyo developing the updated Adwords platforms in Asia.  He was fortunate to be able to transition to working with The Berry Company, where he spent seven years helping develop a print Yellow Pages Company into a multi-platform marketing company by working closely with vendors and senior leadership to select, develop and support their digital programs. In 2014, he was excited to begin a new career with Sinclair Broadcasting Group, where he's currently positioned with WRGT & WKEF in Dayton as their digital sales manager. Joseph is happy to be speaking with local business owners in the community where he lives and it's been his goal throughout his professional career to get back home where he can help the businesses in his neighborhood navigate the ever changing digital landscape.
