Brant Bonin Bough is an American marketing executive, author, and host of the CNBC show Cleveland Hustles.[1][2][3] He is often referred to as a marketing expert, especially in the areas of social and digital marketing[1][3][4][5][6][7] and his career has garnered significant attention since 2007.[8][9][10] He garners "celebrity-like" attention in his industry.[11][12]

Early life

[edit]

At age 11, Bough spoke at an event held at Cathedral of Saint John the Divine to coincide with the United Nations' World Summit for Children.[13] At age 12, Bough was a member of Youth Uprising, a congress of young people challenging how news media portrays them in print and television. He read a list of "challenges" at the Bust the Stereotypes Speakout, a New York conference featuring a panel of journalists from several media companies like WABC-TV and The New York Times.[14]

Bough attended Hartwick College, graduating in 1999.[15]

Career

[edit]

In 2007, Bough became vice president of Screengrab, part of the public relations firm Weber Shandwick, a subsidiary of Interpublic Group of Companies. He had previously worked for another New York firm, Ruder Finn,[8] where he was a founding member of the firm's digital practice, Ruder Finn Interactive, since 1999.[16]

In 2008, Bough began working at PepsiCo as the digital and social media director.[3][17] During his time at the company, he ran a "digital fitness" bootcamp which educated the company's executives on technology in an attempt to bridge the gap between them and their customer base.[16][17] During his tenure, Pepsi also launched the Pepsi Refresh Project.[18][7] Bough was also involved in the launch of a partnership between Pepsi and Foursquare, as well as a separate but similar social app, Pepsi Loot.[19]

In 2011, Fast Company named him one of its "100 Most Creative People In Business",[12] while Fortune and CNNMoney each named him on their lists of 40 under 40.[20][21] In 2012, Bough left PepsiCo to join Kraft Foods Group.[22] He became chief media and e-commerce officer at Mondelez International, a confectionery, food, and beverage company spun-off from Kraft Foods.[3][23][24] Later the same year, he started Mobile Futures, an incubator program that paired start-up social media companies with several Mondelez-owned brands to launch individual marketing strategies.[22] One of these start-ups, Betabox was later purchased by VaynerMedia.[25] Another start-up Waze, which partner with Stride Gum, was later bought by Google.[16]

In January 2013, during the power outage at the Super Bowl XLVII, Bough had the idea to tweet "Power out? No problem. You can still dunk in the dark."[26][27][28] This tweet is regarded as an innovative real-time use of social media by a brand.[29][16][30][31] In 2014, Adweek named Bough #4 on their list of "most influential buyers, sellers and marketers," estimating his media spending at $182 million.[2]

In June 2014, Bough was one of the five advertising executives featured in a Ad Age campaign that imagined what their lives might have been like without the magazine.[32][33]

In 2016, Bough was involved in a marketing campaign for Stride Gum that hired skydiver Luke Aikins to make a jump without a parachute or wingsuit. Aikins leapt from a plane at 25,000 feet (7,600 m) in California landing in a net while the event aired live on television.[24][27][34]

Bough published Txt Me, a book on messaging and how the mobile device has changed modern life.[35] Bough's phone number is on the cover and he actively encourages the public to reach out via text.[36]

In August 2016, Bough left Mondelez to host the CNBC television reality series Cleveland Hustles.[37] The series is produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, and based on the premise of helping local entrepreneurs start a new business.[27][38][39]
