Travis Henry, Principal
I cut my teeth in newspapers as a reporter covering local news and high-profile cases such as the JonBenet Ramsey and Natalie Mirabal cases, picking up some national and regional awards along the way and appearing on CNN and Court TV as an analyst. During my time in newspapers, I also ran four community newspapers, launched early newspaper websites, ran a city desk at a mid-sized daily and served as an editorial board director for a newspaper chain.
After experimenting with one of the newspaper industry’s first dive into user-generated content, I was recruited by the Denver Newspaper Agency and the Rocky Mountain News to build YourHub.com from the ground up. In 2005, we launched 18 community print sections, 44 hyperlocal content portals and a syndication model that was used across the country at major newspapers.
The next few years consisted of running YourHub.com and consulting on hyperlocal start-ups across the nation.
In 2008, I was recruited to help launch Clarity Media's Examiner.com, (acquired by AXS and now AXS.com) serving as both VP of product and VP of editorial. Our amazing staff quickly turned Examiner.com into a Top 10 News, Information & Entertainment site on the web with over 80,000 freelance Examiners and 25+ million monthly uniques.
I then jumped into the digital retail world, leading all content, social, PR, branding, community and SEO efforts at ShopAtHome.com (acquired by Prodege and renamed Tada). I also served as the Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Closetbox, the largest full-service storage company in the world at the time.
I am a co-founder of the training and education software startup Unleesh and new media consultant specializing in digital marketing, content and SEO for companies such as Galvanize. I currently serve as the Senior Director of Content for my all time favorite platform on the web, Patheos.com, where we exist to help provide information, stories and conversation that lead to understanding, empathy and acceptance of all faiths. I've helped dozens of companies and organizations with their marketing and content strategies, from small startups to one of the nation's largest medical organizations. I'd love to see how we can help you.
