Brand Journalists Announces New CEO
Brand Journalists, the top-rated franchise development and marketing firm, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jack Monson as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective February 1, 2023. Monson brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role, having previously held leadership positions at multiple marketing firms and hosting the industry-leading podcast, Social Geek. He holds a BA in Communications from Northern Illinois University and brings a diverse background in marketing, sales, and franchising. He is active in the International Franchise Association as a member of the Supplier Forum Advisory Board and the host of the IFA Franchise Voice podcast.
“Franchising is surging in growth, and we are at the forefront,” said Thomas Scott, founder of Brand Journalists. “We are thrilled to appoint Jack Monson as our new CEO. His experience, vision, and relationships in the franchise industry will be invaluable as we continue to grow and innovate how brands are built. More people will potentially purchase franchises in 2023 and 2024 than in the entire history of franchising, and we are well positioned to drive this growth for our clients.”
“I am honored to be joining Brand Journalists at such an exciting time in franchising,” says Monson. “2023 is going to be a BIG year for franchise development growth, so I’m thrilled to be joining the agency leading the industry in lead generation. This team is the best at finding the franchise candidates most likely to succeed via great storytelling on video, websites, social media, and now: podcasts!”
“I’m also pleased to share that Peter Cole is promoted to Chief Operating Officer effective immediately,” Monson added. “Peter knows more about franchise development websites than anyone I know. More big team announcements are coming soon to build on the talented group of storytellers Thomas Scott has assembled.”
