Kevin Skobac’s Summary

I am currently employed as Digital Media Supervisor at DraftFCB, where I am responsible for the strategic planning, buying, executing, and analyzing of media in the digital space for a variety of clients. My most recent work includes campaigns for the Office of National Drug Control Policy account, the Fisher Price account, and the Alcon Labs account.

Additionally, I am leading department efforts to forge advances in social media and emerging web applications. This includes exploring emerging social media platforms for internal work and external marketing opportunities, educating the media department on emerging media technologies, and assisting on expanding various account capabilities. Common areas of interest consist of, but are not limited to, social media engagement & analysis, mobile marketing, and the transition of legacy media platforms.

As part of my digital media and marketing exploration, I am a founding writer of UsableClicks.com, a website dedicated to discourse of actionable marketing opportunities, strategies, and tactics. Previously, I published marketing articles independently at kskobac.wordpress.com.
