Greg Roth, Vice President, Buddy Media University

Greg Roth is the Vice President of Buddy Media University - a hands-on certification program designed to educate and develop clients and partners on the features and functionality of the Buddy Media Platform.

Greg began his life in the 'real world' as a novelist and screenwriter, penning three books and six screenplays before his 30th birthday. He parlayed his experience as a writer into a short gig as a high school English teacher. When the opportunity arose to transition into a career in digital marketing, Greg jumped at the chance. He spent the first years of his new career at Acronym Media - an Advertising Age Top Ten Search Marketing Agency. Greg was something of a jack-of-all-trades at Acronym where he spearheaded copywriting efforts for SEO campaigns, provided web usability consulting for Fortune 500 clients like SAP and Humana, and multi-variate landing page testing for Four Seasons Resorts and Hotels and Wharton Business School.

When Facebook opened its Platform to outside developers in August of 2008, Greg foresaw the impact that the social network would have on the Internet and the world at large. He began his role at Buddy Media as Social Insights and Innovations Manager - creating concepts for viral applications on Facebook for brands like HBO, New Balance, and Sea World. Greg's role at Buddy Media evolved and grew into a role as Director of Business Development and eventually, Vice President of Buddy Media University. Greg spends his days analyzing brand presences on Facebook and offering strategic consulting on the direction of each client's social media campaigns. Greg has designed Buddy Media University's curriculum to pinpoint and solve the most critical issues presented to marketers leveraging the power of Facebook to drive their advertising efforts.

Greg graduated with a BA in English from Union College. He also holds an MFA in Film from Boston University and a MS in Education from Adelphi University. In his spare time, Greg enjoys spending time with his Shiba Inu, Yogi and his immensely obese cat, Nudgie. Greg recently taped an episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which aired on October 1, 2010.
