Live! Local Media, the people who bring you ClarkCountyLive.com – Clark County’s original network of neighborhood websites – is pleased to announce the hiring of Clay Bonds as Director of Business Development.
After spending the last nine years as Vice President of Business Operations for the locally-owned Vancouver Volcanoes basketball team, Clay brings a strong background in managing local events and creating value for local business partners.
“Clay has a diversified business background, ranging from restaurant management to high-tech,” according to Mitch Canton, Director/Digital Media for Live! Local Media, “he gets what it takes for local business to succeed, and he’ll be able to help us continue our roll out of these new services to the local business community.”
In his new role, Bonds will be responsible for expansion of Live! Local Media’s ‘GoLocal’ program, which helps local businesses use digital media to better connect with the consumers they look to serve. The ‘GoLocal’ program is a part of Live! Local Media’s Internet Marketing “toolbox,” and is a critical piece to helping a local business to level the playing field and create a successful long-term internet strategy.
“I grew up in local business,” said Bonds. “My father owned several local gas stations and car washes, and working there at a young age I learned firsthand what it takes to build a successful local business. To be able to use those experiences, and the tools that we have at ClarkCountyLive to help local businesses, makes this the perfect fit for me.”
“We’re excited to have someone of Clay’s caliber join our growing team,” said Canton, “I’m looking forward to working with him to help local businesses build a strong, successful digital presence.”
