Social Media Strategy | Video Specialist | coBRANDiT Founder
Greater Boston Area
Owen's marketing interest originates with his involvement in the family retail business, a 70 year old venture with a cult following that generates extensive WOM. Studies at Washington University in St. Louis fused his interest in vernacular design, art events, and business.
In 2003 his annoyance with conventional TV ads led to an epiphany: advertising ought to be about real people in real places discussing real product. A website full of unauthorized documentary "ads" followed, Inc. magazine wrote it up, and a business was born.
Fast forward to now. Owen manages web video shop coBRANDiT in partnership with Jesse Buckley, and coB has become a top go-to source for production, distribution, and insight relating to all things social media video and marketing strategy.
In this role Owen has developed strategy and content for brands, agencies, and organizations of all sizes...from General Motors to PUMA to Pabst Brewing. Owen is constantly seeking new opportunities to make brands relevant to people...and vice versa.
