Biography

From an early age, Cameron was fascinated by the web and all of its moving parts. Before he even entered high school he was ranking websites highly on Google and building computers. Through extensive research and study of Google and how it ranks sites for search terms Cameron was able to pay his rent throughout his bachelor of Business Administration program at Trent University using Google Adsense revenue from his Go-kart hobby site. His own sites have garnered millions of views and through a student-based partnership that bloomed out of Trent University (TrentWorks.com) Cameron was able to hone his online marketing and design skills on projects for many local and nationally based organizations. As well as honing his digital skills he was able to pitch web marketing and design ideas to potential clients and fill the role of a lead salesman for the team. Cameron is constantly challenging himself with new and interesting projects; whether it's using Linux-based operating systems for the fun of it, starting his own web-hosting company, or writing (and filming) lessons on online marketing. Cameron has a true passion for exploring the digital world and creating innovative solutions to net-based problems.

Why Digital Media?

Cameron lives, eats, breathes, and sleeps digital media. Whether it's thinking of niche web business ideas or studying digital marketing in his free time, his mind is always focused on digital / media-based possibilities. Ever since stumbling upon the Ryerson Masters of Digital Media program in his search for graduate opportunities, Cameron believes this program was made specifically for him. He is excited to immerse himself in the Digital Media Zone and get started on new and interesting projects with his classmates.

Research

Major Research Paper: "Online Influence in a Networked Digital Context"

For this paper, I intend to define what it means to be influential online
and explore various metrics which could identify influential organizations and influential behaviour. The paper will follow scholarly research in the field and my own case studies.
