JUNTAE KAI DELANE went from college DJ during MySpace to founding Digital Delaine, a digital agency. He built a social network before Facebook existed, created the Digital Branding Institute to earn a "doctor" title, and worked at USC. His proudest achievement: getting his private pilot's license.
That's exactly why I'm here. I want to let you know a little bit more about myself and why I'm qualified to speak on this topic. So most of you guys may not know this if you follow me on social media, but I actually started my marketing career as a dj, college dj, helping other bands and artists build their platform. That was back in the day when MySpace was the was a popular social network. I also developed the entertainment social network that tried to compete with some other guy on the east coast who started some college network called the Facebook. But you see, his network is kind of the granddaddy of them all. So I did that. And I also founded the Digital Branding Institute, which essentially is a brain dump because I was considering getting my PhD, but I was like, no, that's an ego play. And I just wanted the doctor in front of my name, so I'm more of a practitioner. So I just created this network. I also was a former senior digital brand manager at the University of Southern California. And now I am the founder and chief strategist of Digital Delaine, which is a full service digital agency. We help with strategy, design and execution of digital campaigns. Now, I've accomplished a good deal in my marketing career, both personally and professionally, but what I'm most proud of is actually my recent license. I received a recent license for my private pilot's license. Excuse me. And that's probably my proudest moment.
