Marc Gordon started his journey into entrepreneurship in 1986 at the age of sixteen. Racing model cars, Marc began importing parts and accessories that were not available in locally. What started out as a weekend hobby eventually became a major source of income. Fast forward, Marc started Fourword Communications and is built on the belief that small to medium sized companies need the same innovative services as do large corporations, but have a harder time getting the attention of ad agencies, or are unable to afford them.

Marc has written articles on marketing and branding for Glass Canada, Canadian Franchise, Canadian Bodyshop, and Optical Prism magazines. He has also been featured in the Toronto Sun and many local community newspapers.

In 2007 Marc created marcgordon.ca, a web site that gives visitors an opportunity to learn more about marketing their business. Through the site and his email newsletters, Marc provides ideas, tips and case studies that demonstrate how innovative marketing concepts can allow any business to experience long term growth.
