Jeffrey K Rohrs is a creative, strategic, and experienced marketing leader with a passion for collaboration, innovation, and building dynamic brands in today's fragmented media landscape. Author, speaker, recovering attorney, bacon-lover, and Clevelander-at-heart who serves as Chief Marketing Officer for digital knowledge management platform Yext in New York City.

His first book, AUDIENCE: MARKETING IN THE AGE OF SUBSCRIBERS, FANS & FOLLOWERS, establishes "proprietary audience development"​ and the flip side of content marketing and a modern marketing imperative. The Social Content Marketing Blog named AUDIENCE the #1 social media marketing book for Academia stating that, "​[it] should be seriously considered as the primary text for an MBA-level course in social media marketing."​

You’ll Learn:

  • How Jeffrey transitioned from a recovering attorney to professional marketing.
  • How his foundation in the arts and communications prepared him for his non-traditional rise to CMO.
  • How Lexis-Nexis missed the rise of the search engine.
  • What kept Jeffrey from pursing a broadcasting career and applying to MTV.
  • Why the marketing event space has gotten out of hand.
  • Brand safety is a shared responsibility between advertisers and programmatic vendors.

 

3 Key Points:

  1. Always follow the trend line.
  2. Brands need to have a disaster preparedness plan in the event one of these influencers goes sideways on them… because they can.
  3. The degradation of journalistic standards have contributed the rise of #FakeNews.
