Todd, a native of Connecticut, began his career in the brokerage business. Eventually, his work took him to Silicon Valley, where he founded his own investment trading firm.

During the boom and bust of the internet, his company enjoyed a successful run and raised about 3.5 million dollars. They sold the business and relocated to Florida, where he opted to pursue a data business that eventually led him into marketing and helped him discover his passion for developing business strategies.

Later, he joined a company, served as the CMO for six months, and implemented a sales program that propelled the organization to become one of South Florida's 500 fastest-growing companies.

Todd has accumulated a wealth of experience over the years. He has helped raise funds for startups, gained branding and marketing insights from Kathy Ireland, and ventured into email and text marketing.

Todd Johnson has established and built great business ties and continues to share his incredible experiences as one of the leaders of Q1Media.

Routine | Paying It Forward

Todd Johnson played hockey when he was young, which helped him develop the discipline that became the foundation of his routines. He understood the value of thinking beyond oneself, which helped him build relationships and serve others without expecting in return. Here are a few of his routines:

  1. Using smartphones as a mobile workplace

  2. Three games of hockey every week

  3. Bicycling on days off

  4. Working on several opportunities between 8 and 10 p.m.

Success

Happiness, not money, is what Todd views as success. Todd's mother once told him they would rather spend money on him than on expensive cars. He hasn't forgotten this ever since. So he became a brilliant marketer who helped businesses rule markets, making his former company in 2013 the fastest-growing marketing company ranking No. 1 & No. 20 in South Florida and No. 89 in the U.S. Today, Todd's proven track record of success in the industry has been instrumental in the growth of Q1Media.
