Marketing is a huge part of any endeavor's success; without it, a business is bound to fail. But getting people to take note of your business goes beyond a periodic tweet or press release. With innovation occurring rapidly, BIZ Experiencess and marketers are needing to hone their skills to focus on specific channels – mobile, content and video, to name a few – and must keep their ears to the ground for new trends to remain competitive. With all these moving parts, marketing can make a person's head spin.

Fortunately, marketing and PR expert Jim Joseph is looking to help. "I've had the luxury of continually amazing marketing training and experiences throughout my career," he says. "As I've progressed through my many roles, I've conquered every facet of marketing, which honestly is a gift. I understand that BIZ Experiencess do not generally get that kind of exposure, so I'd like to share it with them, to help them."

Joseph serves as the chief integrated marketing officer and president of the Americas for Cohn & Wolfe, a global communications and public relations agency known for its innovative marketing strategies. Some clients include Panasonic, Hennessy, Riddell, Colgate, Tom's of Maine, Sonic, JM Smucker, Pandora and Alcon.

In addition to having helped his company win several coveted awards, Joseph himself has been recognized for his hard work as a Social Media Icon. He is grateful to receive such recognition, he doesn't take the awards too seriously; they just motivate him every day to continue to strive to do better.

Besides his 9-to-5 job, Joseph is a four-time author, regular contributor to BIZ Experiences, a professor at New York University and serves on the board of directors for the number one branding school in the country, The Brandcenter at VCU, as well as The Council of PR Firms and DTC Perspectives.
