Chris Brunt

Consulting and research firm Jacobs Media and leading mobile application development company jācapps announced December 6 that Chris Brunt has been added to their teams. His title – Director of Digital and Revenue Generation – is reflective of his unique skill set. Chris has deep experience in radio programming, digital content creation, and served as the Digital Sales Manager at Beasley Media in Detroit.

“Over the past forty years, we have constantly adjusted and upgraded our services to adapt to our clients’ needs,” remarks Jacobs Media President Fred Jacobs. “Today, the big need of our clients across both of our companies is digital revenue solutions. Chris is like the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of digital – he’s a revenue generation expert, and he understands everything from programming to programmatic.”

During his time at Beasley (and prior to that, Greater Media Detroit), Brunt made his mark in the development of websites, audio and video streaming, podcasts, and social media channels. And over the past seven years, he drove increases in revenue by leveraging both owned/operated and programmatic media.

Along with his duties at Jacobs Media, Chris will also be developing revenue opportunities for jācapps’ mobile apps clients. “Chris will be developing revenue strategies as well as opportunities for our mobile app clients to broaden their reach,” jācapps Chief Operating Officer Bob Kernen notes. “While jācapps clients love our versatile mobile platform, we are now going to take things up a notch and help them generate even more revenue.”

Concurrent with Chris’ arrival is the announcement that Seth Resler will be leaving Jacobs Media later this month. Jacobs Media’s Vice President/General Manager Paul Jacobs states, “Seth has developed interests he wants to pursue, and we support him in this endeavor. As opportunities arise, he may serve as a consultant to Jacobs Media in the future.”
