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

It's a classic tale, really. From Atlanta to NY. From crunching numbers on Wall Street to shooting bts for Oscar de la Renta and Thom Browne. From being the most followed creator on Tumblr, to launching the first (and most adored) influencer marketing agency— James wants you to know he loves helping people turn their wildest dreams into reality.

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).

Today she has the same mission but also a team of people to help her and our clients achieve it.

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.

He holds an MBA and Masters in Finance from Boston College, and the only thing he loves more than Fohr is Excel.
