      Core Intelligence Domain: Marketing & Innovation
      Location: New York, USA | Languages: English
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Bonin Bough is a pre-eminent C-suite marketing executive, award-winning author, and visionary architect of the modern brand-consumer relationship. 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.

      A Legacy of Disruptive Innovation and Growth

      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.
