Freddy Tran Nager
Strategy Director
Stir the imagination and leave the competition shaken.
Over his 25+ years in marketing and media, Freddy has continuously sought out big, new challenges.
At MCA Records in the 90's, he led one of the world's first commercial websites to a top rating in ZD-NET Magazine despite having a significantly smaller team and budget than the competition.
Later, as a Sr. Copywriter at major ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi, Freddy led his creative team to multiple awards for groundbreaking digital media serving the Toyota account.
When the first dotcom boom went bust, Freddy realized that the slickest creativity didn't matter without the right business models. To hone his strategic skills, he earned an MBA in Marketing & Entrepreneurship from the University of Southern California. (Freddy earned his undergrad degree from Harvard.)
Today, Freddy also teaches at USC as an Adjunct Professor, while developing strategies for a diverse array of clients, from luxury car brands to foreign startups to celebrity influencers.
And he's still got his eye out for big, new challenges.
