 Jonathan Salem Baskin Biography

Jonathan Salem Baskin started in the marketing business in high school, working at ad and PR agencies while his friends bagged groceries and delivered pizzas. In college, while he pursued his degree in English literature, led the student judiciary and played in a punk rock band, he started a company to help local businesses create ad campaigns.

After graduation, he gravitated to New York working first at Edelman Worldwide and then at Grey Advertising where he won the PRSA's highest honor, the Silver Anvil. At 26, he was named the youngest EVP in Grey's history. Relocating to the West Coast in 1989, Baskin was promoted to chief operating officer of Grey's Los Angeles office, where he led the communications strategy for the launch of Nissan's Infiniti car division.

Baskin shortly thereafter moved "in-house," joining Nissan to establish its first public affairs operation for North America. He lead the company's first integrated marketing campaign for the Nissan Altima, spearheaded its foray into alternative fuels racing by solar vehicles in partnership with M.I.T. and he created Nissan's corporate ad campaign "Built for the Human Race." Baskin spoke often on emergent brand marketing issues, such as "e-Marketing," to audiences at the Conference Board and Association of National Advertisers. He was not yet 30.

Baskin then moved to Columbus, Ohio, to serve as director of communications for Limited, Inc. (which owned such well-known brands as Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch and Bath & Body Works). He invented the company's first television network for communicating with its 100,000+ employees ("LTV"), pioneered brand-relevant actions on product sourcing (sustainable supply chain) and testing and participated in the development of the company's first online fashion webcasts. Recruited away to lead Blockbuster's worldwide marketing communications efforts, he spearheaded the company's repositioning as a retailer of diversified entertainment content, adapting everything, from its awards program (The Blockbuster Awards) to store signage in support this new brand strategy.

Returning to Chicago in 2000, Baskin led creative development for a technology marketing firm and then the visual design department for a systems integrator called Inforte. In 2003, he established Baskin Associates, Inc. and forged a network of 12 consultants across four continents to help clients translate their business strategies into brand plans that involved more than words and images. While the client list remains confidential, Baskin has partnered with many of the world's leading brand names.

Baskin speaks around the world to groups of corporate leaders, marketers and all-company audiences. His first book, "Branding Only Works on Cattle" (2008) is both a synthesis of his thinking and an entertaining, hands-on guide to creating and delivering a radically new model of brand. His second book, "Bright Lights & Dim Bulbs: The Year in Marketing Buzz, Brilliance & Buffoonery" (2010 Edition), collected many of the decade's best (and worst) marketing ideas. He has also released "The Histories of Social Media," "Tell The Truth: Honesty Is Your Most Powerful Marketing Tool," and his latest, "A Thousand Words: Why We Must Fight the Tyranny of Brief, Vague & Incomplete."

He devotes his personal time to his family and to creating music in his basement digital studio.

Speaking Topics

  • The Competitive Advantage of Truth

    Drawing on research on hundreds of companies across 50+ years of business around the world, Baskin has found the tools for truth-telling that differentiate successful brands from those that simply do marketing, and which work across any and every medium. He makes the case for truth and outlines its 8 core principles in an engaging and entertaining presentation based on his latest book, Tell The Truth, which he co-authored with Sue Unerman. Wired UK magazine called it "...the next big idea in marketing."

  • The End of Social Media

    As contrarian as it might sound, the Social Media Revolution is over: We're linked and linked again, and our online lives are filled with endless amounts of content. Now, the challenge for brands is to understand the underlying dynamics of social experience and apply them to the next generation of social marketing. Baskin, author of The Histories of Social Media, has identified those mechanisms over 2,000 years of social history and shares them as actionable lessons in an entertaining and useful presentation.

  • The Future of Brand Engagement

    Now that the social revolution is over, the challenge for brands is to find new and compelling ways to engage with consumers who are busier, more critical, and less interested than ever before in what brands have to say. Baskin, a regular columnist for America's Advertising Age magazine, has studied brand engagement for years and can specify what works, what doesn't, and where brands should invest their money going forward. This insightful presentation playfully challenges the conventional wisdom and yields actionable conclusions.

  • The Mobile Singularity

    Smartphones and other mobile devices aren't just new channels for delivering marketing content to consumers, they're redefining what, where, and how people make and share decisions. Futurists talk of a "singularity" when everything is connected into a single whole that is smarter than its constituent parts. The funny thing is that much of it is already happening, and Baskina technology watcher and former columnist on brands and tech for Information Week magazine in 2010talks about how marketers are adapting...and what they should consider doing next.

  • Brand Curation: From Collecting to Meaning

    Museums are among the most highly respected institutions in our societies today, yet the brands that talk about "curating" marketing and informational content are rarely aware of the principles and practices on which museums are based. Baskin, a Senior Fellow Emeritus at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, has explored those key qualities and developed an overview of curation that covers everything from Renaissance curiosity cabinets to online collections. His talk is a must for brands that want their content to make a difference.
