Jared Houser

I'm a results-oriented, passionate, marketing and media enthusiast and idealist who you'll usually find rooting for the underdog. With over 18 years of sales, marketing and advertising experience, I’ve worked in all facets of the industry. After graduating from the University of Texas with a degree in Radio/Television/Film, I obtained an MBA from Southern Methodist University and shortly thereafter, moved to Warsaw, Poland where I worked as a marketing consultant specializing in the small consumer electronics industry. Having worked with global media companies such as Leo Burnett Advertising, Sony Music, Virgin Records, ABC Radio Networks, Disney Channel, The Washington Post, the United Paramount Network, Splash Media, and currently LivingSocial, I enjoy applying practical marketing strategies and techniques to ensure that client goals are on target and objectives are being met. Through a demonstrated commitment to excellence, I’ve built a solid reputation for providing personalized service and strategic solutions that make sense for a new economy. When I’m not working I like to spend my free time volunteering for the Houston Chapter of the American Marketing Association, as a camp counselor for children with disabilities, traveling to the various corners of the earth, and every once in awhile, working out. I’m an amateur foodie, photographer, and wannabe chef and enjoy international and independent film and spending time with life-long friends and family.
