His jeffhasen.com blog on mobile and its impact on marketers is often named one of the top in the category. Jeff has spoken across the world more than 150 times on his core belief that everything and nothing has changed with mobile; marketers still need to sell more stuff and it is simply the how that is different.

As CMO, Jeff increased mobile marketing company Hipcricket’s annual revenue 25X and drove it to a public market listing; designation by CTIA as a pioneer and by a leading wireless analyst as an “industry powerhouse”; and, finally, to sale in 2011. Attesting to the strength of his efforts, the acquiring company now sells its products and services under the Hipcricket brand to such companies as MillerCoors, Nestle and Clear Channel.

Earlier in his career, for Nestlé, Jeff directed product launches and reinvigorations; for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic Winter Games of 2002, his work as Project Director for the “look and feel” program raised community awareness and involvement and introduced the Games’ theme, logo and mascots; for Symantec, he helped consumers and businesses through debilitating computer virus outbreaks.
