ABOUT CRAIG
Craig Cooke is the author of Business Kung Fu: Modern Strategy, Ancient Truth, Your Success.
CRAIG is a successful entrepreneur who had the foresight to start a “digital first” company utilizing the Internet long before “digital first,” “digital transformation,” and other buzzwords of today were created. With extremely limited resources of $1,300 and an Apple computer, he started RhythmNet.com with a couple friends from college. Over the years of struggle, adaptation, and repositioning the brand, “Rhythm“ was sold to a world-class digital creative agency in 2019. Craig stayed with the company for just over 3 years, completing a 26-year marathon of running the company as CEO. During his tenure at Rhythm®, Craig worked with middle market to large enterprise companies, such as American Honda Motors, Beats by Dr. Dre, ZO Skin Health, Irvine Company, The Travel Corporation, Segway, U.S. Bank, FivePoint, Online Trading Academy, Allergan, Abbott Labs, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and many other B2C and B2B brands.
During the course of leading Rhythm® to success, numerous organizational achievements were attained, including, but not limited to, the following:
— Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies, five years in a row, 2013 through 2017. Only seven percent of companies on this list achieve this feat.
— Best Places to Work in Orange County by Orange County Business Journal, 2013 and 2014
— Top Places to Work in Orange County by Orange County Register, 2015 and 2016

— Honored by American Honda Motors as the first company to be designated as a Premiere Partner after the first year of service
— Purchased a commercial office building in 2009 at the height of the credit crunch
— Being acquired by a world-class strategic buyer
— Numerous industry awards for our portfolio of work
In addition to the organization achievements above, Craig was honored with the following personal awards and recognition:

Craig has also participated as a speaker in many conferences and seminars, including “Connections” by ExactTarget, The “Res Conference” by the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development, The Integrated Marketing Forum, and numerous other events. He has also served on the boards of the California American
Indian Chamber of Commerce as Vice-President and the American Advertising Federation as Interactive Chair.
Today, Craig shares his business wisdom, experience, and expertise in three key areas: executive leadership, brand development, and marketing communications. He continues his training in martial arts, continuously learning and evolving his skills. Also, he has studied and served as a practitioner of Chinese Medical Qigong since 2015, bringing energy healing to hundreds of people. Currently, he is pursuing a doctorate of Chinese Energy Medicine from the Temple of Change and Transformation. Craig incorporates his skills, knowledge, and expertise in energetic practices into the world of business to provide a truly unique perspective and method in working with professionals across a wide variety of industries.
