Some people lead.
Some people follow.
And some people change the game.

Since 2013, our goal at Fohr has been to facilitate the transition from traditional advertising to what we know now to be the most effective and most efficient channel: social media and the most captivating and diverse content apparatus to ever exist: people sharing their lives online (aka influencers). It’s a new day. Brands no longer control their story, their customers do. There is no group of people better equipped to tell that story than the people who a.) already love your products, b.) can reach your untapped markets, and c.) can entertain their audience in the process. With 11+ years in the industry, we can confidently say, this is the future and the future is now.

We hate buzzwords and bullshit, so here's what we offer, straight-up:

Turnkey Influencer Marketing Platform. End-to-End Influencer Marketing Campaign Services. Strategy. Custom Technology. Gifting Campaigns. Contracting. Creative Direction. Design. Interface Design + Development. Content Strategy. Activation. Beautiful Execution.

James Nord

Founder & CEO

James doesn’t remember much about his life before Fohr, but knows he started 10 years ago on Wall Street, somehow ended up as Oscar de la Renta’s house photographer and 8 years ago started Fohr with Rich to help more people live out their wildest dreams. He wants you to know how much he loves his job.

Grace Murray Vazquez

Vice President, Strategy

Grace joined Fohr in its infancy and has been instrumental in our growth over the years. She launched our managed campaigns business and has built, sold and executed more influencer campaigns than nearly any person on earth. Someone once called her “human champange” and she’s pretty proud of that.

Emma Gonzalez

Vice President, Operations

After eight years working at a full service advertising agency in Australia, Emma made the move across the ocean to New York to join Fohr (read her and Grace’s story, it’s great). For years, Emma ran the platform side of the business, helping hundreds of clients better execute their influencer strategies. Today she has the same mission but also a team of people to help her and our clients achieve it.

Micah Plevyak

CFO

Micah and James were roommates in college and James used this personal relationship as ammunition in his bid to get Micah to leave a lucrative career in Fortune 100 corporate finance to join Fohr. We asked Micah to explain his job and he said he “leads our finance activities and many of our process improvement initiatives” which is his way of saying he keeps the boat afloat. He holds an MBA and Masters in Finance from Boston College, and the only thing he loves more than Fohr is Excel.

Gabs is known to reference the Kardashians unironically, use more than one metaphor to make a point, and is an unofficial #saladinfluencer actively seeking brand deals.
