Jim Banks is a 🏷️#marketer, 🏷️#speaker, and founder of 📝Spades Media, a growth agency specializing in 📝Pay-Per-Click advertising for e-commerce, travel, and finance businesses. One of the earliest pioneers of paid media, Banks bought his first paid traffic in 1999 and founded his first specialist paid-search agency in 2000, selling it in 2006 before launching Spades Media in 2012.
Spades Media has since worked with over 1,000 businesses, generating more than 2 million B2B leads and over $1.6 billion in e-commerce sales across platforms including Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and the major social ad networks.
Jim and I met as speakers at Retail Global in 2016 and have become regular fixtures on the docket of the twice-annual event. His clients — many of whom attend the conference — adore him as both an individual and a service provider; he gives in order to get.
