Bonin Bough is an accomplished marketing executive, best recognized as the host of CNBC’s "Cleveland Hustles" and the author of "Txt Me (646) 759-1837." Holding the record as the youngest C-suite executive at a Fortune 50 Company, he has worked for billion-dollar CPG brands such as Mondelez and PepsiCo before launching his own growth accelerator - Bonin Ventures. He also serves as a co-founder and advisor at Lockstep Ventures. Recently, Bough has taken on the role of Professor in Residence at TikTok, indicating his continued influence and relevance in the digital marketing sphere.
Throughout his career, Bough has spearheaded successful organization transformations and has played a key role in the rapid growth of globally beloved billion-dollar brands, including Oreo, Cadbury's, Pepsi, Gatorade, and Frito-Lay. His tenure as the Chief Growth Officer of SheaMoisture was particularly notable, wherein he led the company to grow by approximately 50% within 12 months, culminating in its acquisition by Unilever for close to $1 billion dollars. As a former Chief Strategy Officer at Wieden + Kennedy, New York, his expertise in leveraging the power of culture to influence behavior and inspire collective change further exemplifies his pivotal role in brand transformations.

Bonin Bough Speaking Topics
How do you create value by breaking things? In this hour-long* keynote presentation I take your audience on a journey to discover how they can hack their business, their way of doing things, and ultimately themselves. Most think that the word "hacker" sounds negative, but not all hackers are bad. Instead, hackers and hack-thinking are the source of a monumental, positive shift in business, technology, startups and culture all over the world. Hackers can create immense value by breaking things, whether it’s breaking from tradition, process, or simply “the way we’ve always done things.” A new hacking economy – or “hackonomy” – is spreading quickly across industries, from software to hardware, aviation to space exploration. Hacking is even changing less obvious parts of human life, like dating. And, of course, the hackonomy has a huge impact on marketing.
This presentation will show you how growth is the only thing that matters in business in the 21st Century. Whether you are an employee at a start-up, or working for a global brand, Bonin will show you tried-and-tested models that will allow you to shift the time-frame for your company’s growth trajectory.
Learn how to drive innovation across your organization from someone who did it at the largest companies in the world. Bonin will share how he took brands like Oreo, Cadbury's, Pepsi and Gatorade and helped them to drive strategic initiatives and develop leading-edge marketing campaigns. He will share how this groundwork eventually resulted in him taking Mondelez International’s e-commerce business from $65MM to 265MM in the 18 months that he ran it.
You’ll learn how break-through communications, combined with customer data, is set to create an entirely new and direct relationship with the consumer. Bonin will share the real-life story of how he leveraged this methodology to grow Sundial Brands (Shea Moisture) from $250-350m before they were acquired by Unilever for close to $1 Billion. He will also share how he is now working with a portfolio of companies who are developing the technologies and platforms that will help your organization to unlock this type of success in the future.
Most importantly Bonin will show you how you can realize your full-potential, utilize your strengths, and use your success to ultimately to catapult your career.
What can large brands teach small start-ups? In this presentation I share my experience from working with ten small businesses during my time as the host of CNBC's Cleveland Hustles. Find out the real stories behind the businesses featured on the hit show and inspire your attendees to apply these same growth-hacking techniques to their own brands.
