Campbell has co-founded several Internet and technology companies, including Internet Direct, the domain registrar Tucows, and Hostopia, a website hosting and service provider sold to Deluxe.[3][4] Campbell is a founding member of .CA, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) and served on its board of directors from June 2001 to January 2003.[5]

Campbell was the founder and CEO of the domain name registry .Club Domains LLC, which operates the new generic top-level domain (gTLD) string .club.[6][7] and sold the company to GoDaddy Registry in 2021.

In 2023 Forbes Books published Start. Scale. Exit. Repeat. written by Campbell.
