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 including Alcatel, Citrix, CVS and Ricoh champion technology revolutions and accelerate growth. He’s brought new demand and lead generation models to early stage companies, commanding immediate attention and demand on very restricted budgets. From digital postage to outsourcing to prescriptions by mail to cloud computing, he’s helped launch services and 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.

In his role at Frager Creative Group, Owen acts as a “general contractor” recruiting and directing the very best marketing communicators for the job. Each is a specialist in their discipline— senior level, award-wining creative talent that are teamed with other specialists in combinations you could never get from any agency at any price. The result is a totally integrated approach that delivers more return on marketing investments.

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.
