Ignite your brand on social media.

In 2024, social media overtook broadcast television globally as the 2nd largest advertising channel by ad spend - surpassing $247billion. Meanwhile, the global influencer marketing industry grew to $24billion dollars in 2024. Brands that are activating a full-funnel organic, paid social, influencer and creator marketing strategy are growing while legacy retailers stumble.

JUN is a management consulting practice by Nathan Jun Poekert operating at the intersection of organic social, paid social, influencer marketing and the creator economy.

We convert brands that are active on social to social-first brands.

Core Practice Offerings:

Full Service Management Consulting

For brands looking to completely reimagine their organic, paid and influencer marketing practice.

Organic, Paid and Influencer Audit

A performance audit of your organic, paid social or influencer marketing practice including competitor analysis and benchmark development.

Organic Social Strategic Realignment

Evaluate your current organic social practice and identify opportunities for improvement and increased reach & engagement.

Staffing & Resource Analysis

Evaluation and analysis of the current structure of your social marketing teams and upper-funnel budget allocations.

Recruitment and Talent Identification

Advisory for CMOs and SVPs hiring for senior level social media roles to ensure they make the right hiring decision.

Reporting, Insights & KPI Development

Connecting organic and influencer marketing to bottom of funnel KPIs to prove value and attribution.

For personal reasons I do not provide consulting or advisory work on X (formerly Twitter). If this is something you have concerns with or a negative reaction to, we should probably not work together.
