We haven’t seen the influencer-first CMO yet—but when we do, there will be a reckoning for how advertising budgets are built, spent, and justified.
Few people have been more prepared for that moment than James Nord, Founder & CEO of Fohr—the original influencer marketing company in the U.S.
Since 2012, James has:
• Built a 250,000+ creator network
• Delivered $300M+ in influencer-led campaigns
• Partnered with iconic brands like Dick’s, Marriott & Kohl’s
• Grown a team of 100 humans doing wildly creative, data-backed work
What makes James special (besides having once been Oscar de la Renta’s house photographer and somehow surviving Wall Street)? He gets the creator economy from every angle: business, brand, technology, storytelling—and how it’s all converging.
James isn’t just building tools. He’s shaping the future of how influence is measured and monetized.
And he really, really loves his job.
