Cummings is co-founder of Terakeet and served as the Director of Internet Finance during Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid of 2008. EducationCummings was raised in Tully, New York. He attended Manlius Pebble Hill High School in DeWitt, NY.[1] After graduating from high school, Cummings attended Cornell University, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Industrial and Labor Relations in 2001.[2] Professional lifeIn 1998, Cummings launched Mindshark Software and Consulting from his Cornell University dorm room serving as CEO and guiding the company to profitability in its first year.[3] Cummings led Mindshark to several notable software agreements with high-profile clients such as Forbes and General Electric.[3][4] In 2001, Cummings co-founded Terakeet Corporation with business partner, Patrick Danial.[3] Both later became shareholders in US Beverage Net.[5] As CEO of Terakeet, Cummings also led the sales effort, securing engagement marketing agreements with customers to build up their relationship with online influencers and increase their brand awareness and online visibility. By 2012 Cummings had expanded the Terakeet portfolio to include U.S. and international companies such as Coca-Cola, American Express and NBC Universal-Orlando.[3][6] In 2013, Cummings and Danial established Earned Visibility, Inc. and established Terakeet LLC as a subsidiary.[7] Under Cummings' executive direction, Terakeet grew from 75 employees in 2013 to 175 employees in 2015, earning Terakeet recognition as one of the fastest-growing companies in America, according to Inc. Magazine.[8][9] Terakeet was voted as one of the top places to work in New York State in 2017.[10] Cummings became an investor and advisor to The Water Initiative - an initiative focused on bringing clean water to impoverished areas of the globe.[11] Cummings also joined the Centerstate Corporation for Economic Opportunity board[4] and was the youngest ever named to the Cornell Entrepreneurship Board.[4] PoliticsCummings has been active in local and national politics and has often been consulted for fundraising strategies on the technology and web side of campaigns.[12] Cummings served as Director of Internet Finance for Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid from February to June 2008.[1] Cummings is credited with being part of the largest single day of online fundraising in American presidential campaign history, when the Clinton campaign raised $10 million in the 24 hours following the April 2008 Pennsylvania primary.[11] Cummings was first sought out by the Hillary Clinton campaign by campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe after organizing a $215,000 fundraiser in Syracuse, McAuliffe’s home town. After initially working as a satellite consultant, Cummings joined the Hillary Clinton campaign in Arlington, Virginia as an unpaid volunteer in February 2008.[1] Clinton's fundraising, which had lagged behind Barack Obama's, began to improve soon after Cummings joined the campaign. Cummings helped turn things around by seeking out small donors - driving traffic to the Clinton campaign website, making urgent online pitches, and giving donors more control over how their money was spent.[1] As a result, online fundraising started accounting for nearly 75% of her monthly totals, mainly in small contributions. In February, the campaign raised $30 million of its $35 million monthly total online, the single largest fundraising month for the campaign. Contributions averaged $100 during this period, and nearly 25% of all contributions were from new donors.[13] Shortly after the Clinton campaign suspended in 2008, Cummings and Terakeet were selected to advise the Obama digital team on its content, blogging, and SEO strategies.[14] After the successful election of Barack Obama in 2008, Terakeet again was solicited to provide technology consulting to the campaign and its technical team. Cummings worked closely with the digital team on a volunteer basis, while Terakeet provided $20,000 in technology consulting services to Obama for America in 2012.[15] Cummings would later donate that fee back to the campaign.[16] In 2013, Cummings advised then businessman and friend Terry McAuliffe on his run for Governor of Virginia. He helped assemble McAuliffe’s digital operation, traveled the state with him, and donated $25,000 in his successful bid for governor of Virginia.[17] In 2016, Cummings and Terakeet were brought in within the last weeks of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, Hillary for America, to reach out to battleground states in a small role.[18][19] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|last1=Weiner|first1=Mark|title=What the Clinton campaign learned from a CNY Web whiz|url=http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2008/04/what_the_clinton_campaign_lear.html|publisher=Syracuse.com|accessdate=25 March 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Cummings, Mac}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Our Team|url=https://www.terakeet.com/about/team/maclaren-cummings/|publisher=Terakeet|accessdate=25 March 2016}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|last1=Seely|first1=Hart|title=Progress 2012: Terakeet Corp in downtown Syracuse has tripled its workforce in 3 years|url=http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/02/progress_2012_terakeet_corp_in.html|publisher=Syracuse.com|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Executive Profile|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=285440666&privcapId=285438417&previousCapId=285438417&previousTitle=Terakeet%20LLC|publisher=Bloomberg|accessdate=25 March 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Linhorst|first1=Stan|title=Patrick Danial on leadership: Anyone can bark orders; respected leaders build a foundation of trust|url=http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2015/08/patrick_danial_leadership.html|accessdate=31 March 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=About Terakeet|url=https://www.terakeet.com/about/|publisher=Terakeet|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=CNY Wins $500 Million In Upstate Revitalization Initiative|url=http://www.centerstateceonews.com/monthly/january/front.php|publisher=CenterState CEO|accessdate=25 March 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Moriarty|first1=Rick|title=Fast-growing Internet marketing firm looking for new downtown Syracuse home|url=http://www.syracuse.com/business-news/index.ssf/2015/09/fast-growing_internet_marketing_firm_looking_for_new_downtown_syracuse_home_1.html|publisher=Syracuse.com|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Terakeet|url=http://www.inc.com/profile/terakeet|publisher=Inc.|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.syracuse.com/business-news/index.ssf/2017/07/syracuses_terakeet_named_one_of_top_companies_to_work_for_in_new_york.html|title=Syracuse's Terakeet named one of top companies to work for in New York|work=syracuse.com|access-date=2018-01-02|language=en-US}} 11. ^1 {{cite web|title=The TWI Team|url=http://www.thewaterinitiative.com/team|publisher=The Water Initiative|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web|last1=Weiner|first1=Mark|title=Behind the scenes, President Obama meets VIPs before Syracuse speech|url=http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/08/behind_the_scenes_president_obama_meets_syracuse_vips_before_speech.html|publisher=Syracuse.com|accessdate=26 March 2016}} 13. ^{{cite web|last1=Luo|first1=Michael|last2=Zeleny|first2=Jeff|title=Obama and Clinton Flush With Cash From February|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/29/us/politics/29donate.html?scp=8&sq=Hillary%20Clinton%20fundraising%20february%202008&st=cse&_r=0|publisher=The New York Times|accessdate=25 March 2016}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Obama for America Finds New Opportunities with Terakeet|url=https://www.terakeet.com/case-study/obama-case-study/|accessdate=31 March 2016}} 15. ^{{cite web|title=Campaign Finance Disclosure|url=http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?13943533781|publisher=Federal Election Commission|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 16. ^{{cite web|title=Campaign Finance Disclosure|url=http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?12963773350|publisher=Federal Election Commission|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 17. ^{{cite web|title=Maclaren Cummings|url=http://www.vpap.org/donors/165198-maclaren-cummings/|publisher=Vpap.org|accessdate=28 March 2016}} 18. ^{{Cite web|url=http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?201607319022157848|title=PAGE BY PAGE REPORT DISPLAY FOR 201607319022081796 (Page 76053 of 79260)|website=docquery.fec.gov|access-date=2016-09-29}} 19. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.syracuse.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/11/how_a_syracuse_tech_company_could_help_hillary_clinton_win_battleground_states.html|title=How a Syracuse tech company could help Hillary Clinton win battleground states|work=syracuse.com|access-date=2018-01-02|language=en-US}} 7 : 1979 births|Living people|People from Tully, New York|Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations alumni|Place of birth missing (living people)|Businesspeople from Syracuse, New York|Manlius Pebble Hill School alumni |
