Innovative Agency Leader and Business Executive Charged With Increasing Media Planning and Buying Agency’s Growth
NEW YORK, NY (May 1, 2017) — Media Storm, the award-winning media planning and buying agency, today announced Jeremiah Rosen, former President of SapientRazorfish-owned Campfire, has joined as the agency’s Chief Revenue Officer, to expand revenue streams across the entire company’s portfolio. In addition to being charged with growing the agency’s broader revenue base, he will be driving new business for Media Storm’s exclusive data-driven tools—JubaPlus, the agency’s data sciences and audience targeting solution, and Ninety9X, its transparent programmatic platform—as well as Media Storm’s social media arm 3Degrees. Rosen will lead these functions from the company’s New York City office, reporting directly to Media Storm CEO Christina Norman.
“Jeremiah brings end-to-end business savvy, broad industry expertise, and far reaching relationships across the media and marketing spectrum that will be priceless to Media Storm as we expand our client base,” said Norman.
“Media Storm has made an indelible mark as a trailblazer in entertainment and retail media, and I am thrilled to be joining the leadership team,” said Rosen. “As the agency now directs their cultural know-how towards other verticals, I look forward to expanding the agency’s business portfolio and voice. They are a true partner to their clients and not a vendor—and that is not easily found these days”
During his decade-long tenure as President of Campfire, Rosen secured client relationships with HBO, Verizon, Captain Morgan, Warner Bros., Ketel One, Showtime, Infiniti, and other world-class brands, building a nationally recognized agency that received widespread industry recognition. He also led the agency’s acquisition by SapientNitro in 2014, as the agency’s lead partner and executive.
Rosen earned a B.A. degree from Dickinson College, and holds two degrees from Syracuse University: a J.D. from the University’s College of Law, and a M.A. from SU’s Newhouse School of Communications.
