About Mike Whaling (@30Lines)

Thank you for making the connection and clicking through from Twitter. I’m glad you stopped by!

Instead of just linking to the 30 Lines website or the blog, I thought I’d take a moment to share some additional information with you.

I am Founder and President of a growing digital marketing consultancy, 30 Lines.

Drawing on experience gained from running and marketing businesses since 1997, I launched the company to help businesses and other marketing agencies integrate their online marketing efforts with one goal in mind — build a stronger online presence for the brand.

After originally launching 30 Lines as a blog in 2008, I was quickly approached by a property management company in the Detroit area to help them grow their social media efforts. That first client was featured in BusinessWeek, Entrepreneur and a host of other publications specific to their region and their industry, and 30 Lines has been going strong ever since, working with clients from New Hampshire to California along the way.
You can see a full list of services here, but I primarily focus on website design/functionality, search engine optimization, email marketing, and digital marketing analysis.

Interested in working together? Start here. I’d love to hear from you!

About Me

With a strategic, creative, analytical approach, I deliver results that enable brands to get the most out of an integrated online presence. I was named a Young Business Leader by Florida Trend and the Volusia Business Report, and I also was named a Top 10 Promoter of Technology for the multifamily real estate by Broadband Properties. I’ve served as a technology advisor to Men’s Health Living magazine, and I’ve been featured in numerous publications including the Orlando Sentinel, the Orlando Business Journal, Urban Land Magazine, Multifamily Executive, Multi-Housing News and Entrepreneur Magazine.

With a number of clients in the multifamily real estate business, I moderate the Apartment Chat (#AptChat on Twitter), a ongoing discussion about how apartment companies can use social media and other digital tools for their business.

I blog about online marketing trends, social media tools & tips and related topics here. (You can subscribe here.) Here are five of my most popular posts from the blog:

I also do a fair amount of speaking at conferences and privately to organizations. When I speak, I often post my presentations here, so feel free to peruse. If you’re looking for a speaker for an upcoming event, please get in touch. Here’s a presentation I gave to the Social Media Club Fort Worth about ways to integrate online and offline marketing:

The fun details? I’m hooked on sports, history and The Big Bang Theory. I owned a DJ business in college, so I have an appreciation for all kinds of music, from The Glenn Miller Orchestra and Frank Sinatra to Bad Boy Bill and Jay-Z.
