We revisit our process constantly so what we learned on the most recent projects quickly gets used by everyone on our team.
Delivering solutions is not a theoretical, tool development exercise for us. It’s a top priority because it provides our clients with the lead generation and revenue generation that we know is the “life blood of any business.”

THE LARRY JACOB 70-YEAR LEGACY
Who Is Larry Jacob?
I get the question, “Who is Larry Jacob?” all the time.
When I started the business, I wanted to name it after my father and grandfather. My father has been a great role model for my brothers and sister. He has set an example for us all to follow and I admire him for that.
My grandfather was obviously a huge influence on my dad. I owe a lot to both of them and the legacy they have left me.
Larry, my dad, with his kids. I’m the one on the left with the tie.
I have a great admiration for what they both accomplished professionally and personally especially when you consider how they started.
My dad raised us with a strong (and very positive) Catholic upbringing. He taught us right from wrong. He emphasized the value of hard work combined with integrity and honest. Considering our Cuban background, he wasn’t at all sexist. He taught my brothers and I to have the highest respect for women which is something that has served me well. My wife and I have been blessed with three daughters of our own.

Technically, my dad’s name isn’t “Larry.” In 1960, he arrived in Miami from Havana, Cuba at the age of 19. He had been a “soon to be” well educated kid with plans of becoming an accountant in his homeland. Fidel Castro and his communist regime cut those dreams short. So here he was in the 1960’s working the loading docks here in Miami.
“It was hard work,” he would tell me. He jokes that he was in pretty good physical shape back then.
In one of those jobs, he worked for an English-only speaker who asks him, “What’s your name?” With his really thick accent, he tells him, “Lazaro.”
“Lazaro?” He got right back with a grimace. Next thing you know he’s “Larry.” And that’s been his name ever since.
My dad later started the Suki Eggs and Poultry company with a lot of what he learned in that job. He would deliver food products to local Miami hotels, restaurants and grocery stores. Later he expanded to a larger line of products, became Suki, Inc. He retired a few years back at 75. He and Mom are traveling and taking it easy.
Jacobo was my father’s father – my grandfather. (We could have named the business LazaroJacobo.com, but didn't roll off the tongue easily.) He passed away when I was only six, but my dad, uncles and aunts have told our generation so much about him.
He was one of 13 children coming from a VERY poor family. He wasn’t physically strong or healthy which eliminated physical labor as an work option for him. That was likely a blessing because he became a VERY successful entrepreneur in Cuba.
When he left Cuba in his ’60s, without a penny to his name, he had to start all over. He partnered up with a contact he knew from Cuba and ran two Chinese Restaurants (Yes, a Cuban running Chinese Restaurants) and did well the final years of his life.
Even in Miami after he lost his wealth, he was known as an extremely generous man. When he passed away, my grandmother and our family learned of so many additional things he had done to help people. He made a point of doing it in secret without anyone ever knowing he was doing it.

Anyway, Larry Jacob Internet Marketing is more than just a company name. It’s the continuation of a 70-year legacy that is dedicated to delivering the absolute top services you’ll get in this industry.
