Recognised globally as a pioneer in real-time marketing and digital transformation, he has consistently driven billions of dollars in growth for the world’s most iconic Fortune 50 brands. By engineering proprietary frameworks that merge technology, culture, and consumer behaviour, Bough has rewritten the playbook for strategic foresight in the digital age, proving that disruptive innovation—what he terms the “Hackonomy”—is the ultimate driver of sustained enterprise value.
Throughout his illustrious career, Bonin Bough has held pivotal leadership positions at the vanguard of corporate innovation. As the former Chief Media and eCommerce Officer at Mondelēz International, he managed a multi-billion-dollar media investment portfolio, leading digital integration across a vast global matrix. His strategic direction was instrumental in executing the legendary “Oreo Dunk in the Dark” Super Bowl tweet, a watershed moment that defined the era of real-time corporate marketing and agile brand response.
Prior to his tenure at Mondelēz, Bough served as the Global Director of Digital and Social Media at PepsiCo. There, he spearheaded the groundbreaking Pepsi Refresh Project, a revolutionary digital programme that reallocated Super Bowl advertising funds towards community-driven initiatives, establishing a new global standard for purpose-led brand engagement. He has also operated as the Chief Growth Officer at Triller, significantly scaling the platform’s global footprint, commercial viability, and competitive positioning within the social media ecosystem.
Most recently, as the Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Group Black, Bough is championing a transformative mission to dramatically alter the pipeline of media ownership. Group Black represents one of the largest collectives of Black-owned media, intentionally designed to facilitate structural changes in corporate advertising expenditure, promote equitable investment, and drive inclusive growth across the media landscape.
“Bonin Bough is tremendously passionate about social media and all things digital. It is impossible to listen to him speak without getting caught up in enthusiasm and smarts he brings to the table every day. I found him to be an inspiring human being every day i worked with him over the two years he spent at Weber Shandwick.”
“Bonin’s a creative, strategic thinker who brings practical solutions and a business mind to the digital world. He never saw a client challenge that couldn’t be tackled, and he worked across all regions and p&l’s to bring success to the agency. He’s a real team player, who contributed to the growth and prestige of the team by pushing the envelope with creative thinking and passion for excellent work.”
“Bonin is a force of nature. More than likely you have heard about his pioneering digital engagement campaigns for Pepsico and Mondelez. You may have seen him featured on the pages of industry trades or in action on the streets of Austin @ SXSW. His new show on CNBC, The Cleveland Hustle, is inspiring entrepreneurs in Ohio and beyond. A true rockstar from Cleveland to Cannes, Bonin has been on the forefront of the digital revolution from the beginning. Smart, successful and connected, Bonin has the pulse on what's next. Those that know Bonin well can also attest to his generosity, commitment to mentorship and a deep belief that anything is possible. Bonin brought me into the world of PR and has been a guide ever since. As a co-author, a client and a friend, Bonin has made a difference in my life, and in the lives of many.”
