About Old Drum Marketing

Old Drum Marketing LLC is a digital marketing company serving Johnson County, Missouri, and the surrounding business community. We are a Christian-owned business and operate our business holding to scripturally based values. 

Old Durm Marketing was founded in 2023 by Michael Compton, who began his career as a network engineer and entrepreneur in the mid 1990’s. He was co-founder of Web One, Inc., one of Kansas City’s first and largest business-focused Internet Service Providers at the time. Web One provided web development and hosting for many of Kansas City’s best-known corporations. Web One was also a pioneer in bringing high-speed DSL service to the Kansas City market. Michael Compton served as President of Web One until it was sold to MobilePro in 2004. 

After selling Web One, Michael Compton turned his interest in computing to studying the human brain. This interest led to Michael Compton spending most of the last decade in Neuroscience research, specializing in research concerning how the human brain responds differently between real and computer-based images. Michael Compton has conducted research that has been published in top scientific journals such as Cortex and the Journal of Experimental Psychology, and he has presented his research at leading national conferences such as the Vision Sciences Society and Bay Area Vision Research Day held at the University of California, Berkeley. 

Now returning to his entrepreneurial roots, Michael Compton combines his years of experience in Internet technology and Neuroscience research to help small businesses compete in the digital marketplace.
