Writing, Research and Consulting

When I first logged on to the Internet fifteen years ago, my reaction was excitement at the potential for this tool to aid in my self-directed research. I'm always learning, exploring new things, feeding my brain, and adding to pools of intelligence that aid in ongoing analysis.

Change is the constant and I'm often focused on understanding the how and why, with an eye on where we're going as a society. The results of my research are shared through my writing and speaking, both of which are part of my consulting services and work.

Individuals and companies with diverse backgrounds and missions have hired me to help them understand and benefit from the Internet and media in general. My clients turn to me for a range of services, whether it's advice and research, strategy and presentation, or access to my connections and resources.

While the deliverables I've produced usually tend to be written reports and oral presentations, I also on occasion engage in project and product management, event facilitation, executive education and coaching.

Some of my past and current clients include:

"I'm old enough to be Jesse Hirsh's father. Yet over the course of countless hours together, discussing current trends, the next big thing or the future, the relationship is often reversed. He is the teacher and I am the student. I know of no one who understands modern society, the turn of events or especially the internet, better than Jesse. He is the smartest young man I have encountered over my professional career."
— Allan Gregg, Chairman of Harris/Decima.

Jesse Hirsh has a proven track record as a digital media consultant who goes to where the future will be. His analysis of trends and his ability to recommend commercial strategies for the web are invaluable. He also has a unique ability to make connections between high technology and what is happening in society at large. He's a Geek, but it isn't Greek to me.
