L. Scott Harrell, Legal Services

Hi, I'm L. Scott Harrell. Welcome to my profile!

L. Scott Harrell's Bio:

Private Investigator, Competitive Business Strategist. Innovator. Crusher of Obstacles. L. Scott Harrell began a career rooted in intelligence and investigative tradecraft when he was selected to work with several different wartime intelligence units while serving in the United States Navy. Since his discharge twenty years ago, he has continued to apply the very special skills honed in the military through an acclaimed private investigation practice, highly successful digital media companies and an international business consultancy. Specialties: Competitive advantage and business strategy through the ethical application of open source information collection, human resources, technology, social media and bleeding-edge marketing techniques. Scott Harrell is a powerful communicator, proven organizational leader and disruptive radical. In November, 2012, L. Scott Harrell sold the digital training, e-media and social network portfolio he developed over 11 years and decided to take a sabbatical from the investigation professions. He accepted the offer to assume the role of Executive Director with an emerging aquatic conservation association whose mission very closely reflects his own passion for preserving the marine environment amid the serious damage being caused by invasive species. He immensely enjoyed the challenges of leading that organization through a period of unprecedented membership growth encompassing some 23 different countries and Caribbean island nations. In June 2014, after two and a half years, he stepped down in order to find a new challenge. Today, L. Scott Harrell is the CEO of Broadside Incorporated, an international business consultancy, which fits the summary of my strengths perfectly.

Executive Director at World Lionfish Hunters Association
February 2012 - June 2014
As Executive Director I provided top-level leadership and oversight to develop the World Lionfish Hunters Association (WLHA) from its inception. Drawing upon over 2 decades of executive management experience, brand development, social networking and digital marketing strategies, the association has grown by over 8,000 members and affiliate organizations from 23 countries and island nations during my tenure.
Founder and Executive Editor at Pursuit Magazine
March 2008 - October 2012
As the founder of Pursuit Magazine, I developed the first and most comprehensive online magazine and continuing education portal for professional investigators. Pursuit Magazine is read by more professionals in the investigation and legal services professions than any other publication, online or in-print and PIeducation.com remains the undisputed market leader in state-approved continuing education for private investigators, process servers and other related professions. Storyboard EMP, LLC acquired Pursuit Magazine and PIeducation.com from me in October 2012.
Director, Brand Management and eMedia at IRBsearch, LLC
July 2009 - June 2010
As the Director of Brand Management and eMedia of this multi-million dollar investigative information and data broker, I identified and capitalized on strategic growth opportunities, improving product sales and market share through the development of the company's expansion into the fields of online continuing education, e-commerce, and e-magazine communications.
Chief Executive Officer at Broadside Incorporated
July 2014
Broadside Incorporated is an established international business consulting agency and startup incubator focused on revenue growth, client acquisition, developing web apps, mobile apps and building online market verticals. Broadside is currently developing several new projects which are at various stages in the startup cycle, however I am most excited about two new emerging online projects focused on video content. The first is Vtrep.com, an online journal for entrepreneurial filmmakers. As the Executive Editor, my mission is to position Video Entrepreneur Magazine as the leading media publisher and community resource for creative professionals who are ready to capitalize on the unprecedented business opportunities in digital video content. The second is VideoToOrder.com. Currently under development, This video marketplace site will become a major hub for video content development. Our development team is shooting for a public beta version of VTO to roll out October 1, 2014. We are building a vertical that I hope will one day provide shape and direction to entrepreneurial filmmaking and how the massive demand for commercial video content for business and personal reasons will be met.
