Owen Frager: Chief Innovation Officer

In a diverse career as an agency owner, marketing executive, top-producing salesman and Internet entrepreneur, Owen Frager has helped global brand leaders champion technology revolutions and accelerate growth. He’s brought early stage companies to full velocity, changing historical brands and engineering new demand and lead generation models. And he’s helped launch technologies that caused business and paradigm dislocations, changed economies and shaped the way business is now run. These marketing concepts and programs have generated over $7 billion of shareholder value and led to the acquisition of private companies by billion-dollar brands.

Long before there was an Internet, Frager was pioneering the concepts of social marketing. He remains among the few who understand how to monetize the technique to a sponsor’s bottom line advantage. Says Owen: “Our clients have sold seven billion dollars in products and services worldwide. We’ve run 100s of consumer and b2b websites, continually refining each to achieve peak performance. We know Google and how to achieve a competitive advantage. We can help you get more visitors, close more sales and make more money.”

In addition to operating his own creative services agency, Frager’s blogs and online communities attract tens of thousands of visitors a day, and he has blazed a new trail to the fastest growing ethnic segment in online SHOE shopping with THOUSANDS daily followers. His work has been featured on NBC and CBS; in Print Magazine, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
