Kit Carson, Filmmaker/Journalist, AFRICA DIARY Steve Bradbury, Vice President, GoTV Networks, Moderator Doug Akin, Chief Engagement Officer, Managing Partner, Mr Youth: Doug Akin has always been a fast-talking born-and-bred NY charmer with the gift of persuasion. So persuasive, in fact, that he was even able to sell frogs from a roadside stand in Connecticut as a child. As a college student, he used his quick thinking to start Nulite Entertainment in 1998. There, he brought heart-stopping events and parties to major college markets for the world’s hottest brands. In 2002, Doug joined up with Matt Britton, a college friend from Boston University to pitch major brands on a new approach to the market. After hundreds of energy drinks and thousands of PPT slides later, Doug helped to turn Mr Youth into one of the most sought after marketing agencies—Fast Company recently named Mr. Youth one of the Most Innovative Advertising & Marketing Companies of 2010 and was named “2009 Social Media Agency of the Year” by Mashable's Open Web Awards. In addition, Doug was recently designated the Greatest Youth Marketing Mind of 2010 by MobileYouth. Today, Doug heads up new business efforts for Mr Youth and develops social marketing campaigns and platforms for clients such as MSN, P&G, Crayola, Chase, HP and Victoria's Secret . He leads the agency with creative passion and whirlwind enthusiasm that make pitches positively electric and proves he’s up for anything. Just don’t ask him to eat frogs’ legs (unless they’re served at his much buzzed about NY restaurant, Charles). Doug speaks frequently at industry conferences about Millennial trends and social marketing, including OMMA, AAF, Clio’s, Digiday and Social Media Week. He has been featured on ABC News’ Job Club with Tory Johnson, Adweek, Brandweek, iMedia Connection, MediaPost and PRWeek, among others.
