Biography
Jeffrey Hondel graduated with an Advertising/Public Relations degree from the University of Central Florida and has over 10 years of experience in digital marketing across all channels. He is a multi-talented marketer — not only excelling in data analysis, but also with content creation and omni-channel strategy implementation. Over the years, Jeff has had the pleasure of working with national, notable brands such as Clorox, Audi, The Golf Channel, and Berkshire Hathaway.
Jeff started his career as a marketing assistant and quickly worked his way up to be the Digital Marketing Supervisor for the Holler-Classic Automotive Group in Orlando, FL. For three years, he oversaw the digital marketing department for six car dealerships and six radio stations while also contributing to audience research, event planning, and public relations. He quickly gained experience in SEO, SEM, website development, HTML and CSS coding, CRM management, social media management, and brand marketing.
In 2016, Jeff was offered an opportunity to work in downtown San Francisco and join the newly formed Programmatic Department of AKQA — a subsidiary of WPP and the largest digital marketing agency in the world. At AKQA, Jeff managed an annual marketing budget of $30MM while working directly with representatives at Google and Facebook and growing his technical skillset in ad operations. Jeff later accepted a position working for an ad tech company within the heart of Silicon Valley until its successful acquisition in 2020 by Publicis Groupe. Now working remotely back in Florida, Jeff recently helped grow a local e-commerce brand to $1MM in online sales in just its first year.
When not working on creative marketing strategies, Jeff can be found spending time with his wife and son, rocking out on the guitar, improving his golf game, or enjoying a Netflix marathon.
