Henry Copeland
Founder, BlogAds
Convinced that blogs are a lifeboat for what’s best in journalism and that blog readers could be uniquely helpful to smart advertisers, in March 2002, Copeland started brainstorming on a service to connect bloggers and advertisers. Here’s the original Blogads manifesto. Today Blogads.com connects hundreds of blogs with a spectrum of advertisers including Time Warner, JohnKerry.com, The Republican National Committee, The New Republic, Rhino Records, O’Reilly Media and Bagnews.
Henry grew up in Wooster, Ohio and in 1984 received a BA in history from Yale University after nearly failing courses in economics, math and computer science. Henry’s favorite books are The Innovator’s Solution and The Loyalty Effect. After working on Wall Street from 1984 to 19991 and as a journalist in Budapest from 1991 to 1998), Copeland founded Pressflex.com, the parent company to Blogads.com. Pressflex today serves as webmaster for nearly 100 newspapers and magazines across Europe.
