About Us

The Thunderbolt Group is a team of people that have a deep understanding of the Internet and have been working in its trenches for many years.

Our strengths lie in web media. Planning, buying, syndicating, evaluating product, selling, devising strategy, reviewing vendors, implementing technology or services...if it has to do with web/digital media, we have done it.

We have either worked at or with all of the following companies over the last 11 years and Thunderbolt has been an independent consulting company since July of 2002. MapQuest.com, Homefair.com (now Move.com) Hotwired, Excite, Budget Group, Dex Media (an RH Donnelley company), Superpages.com, Local Insight Media, Local Matters, Ingenio (now a part of AT&T), Media News Group (Owners of about 185 Newspapers including the Denver Post and the San Jose Mercury News), Colorado.com and many, many others on both the advertising front and as a partner or vendor.

We would be happy to share our stories about how we have helped these companies in various ways.

What it really comes down to, though is how we can help you. What is giving you a "Digital Headache?" Let us help you fix it.



AFFILIATE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT:
For the past six years, we have managed large and complex affiliate programs for major corporations. Payments based on different actions, sub-affiliate payouts, fraud prevention and mitigation, lead verification and financial management are all part of our systems. More here!
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT:
The web has always been about information distribution. We will help you find the right places to partner with other publishers or technologies so your information gets distributed as widely as possible. More about that here!
AD OPERATIONS:
When an ad buy is made, the work just begins! Insertion orders, Scheduling, Ad tags, targeting parameters, reporting, billing, collections...the list goes on and on. We have managed thousands of ad campaigns over the last five years and our processes are rock solid. More here!
STRATEGY:
In addition to the service delivery work mentioned above, we do a lot of higher level strategy work with large and medium sized companies, or work with Venture Capital or Private Equity companies to evaluate potential investments. Strategy is always a very vague area, so read more here to get clarity!
