While carrying the “ethos” of a Marketing Technologist, Albert always possessed a firm understanding of how technology has continued to transform the discipline of Marketing. And as the speed of the consumer continues to accelerate, Albert has emerged as that unapologetic voice on how these new “moments of truth” in consumer consumption require new models in engagement models for going to market.
Albert’s ultimate purpose when he hits the stage is to continuously add value by “elevating the space” and those connected to him. Intellectual curiosity has been the key driver for his pursuit of what’s next in the space. This is accompanied by his passion to distribute it.
After years of guest speaking in the classrooms of NYU, Baruch, Georgetown, and University of Maryland, Albert started to impart his knowledge through series of trades: MediaPost, 4A’s, AdAge, The ANA’s, Meltwater Social, Digiday, ThinkLA, PUBMATIC, CYNOPSIS, Adweek, The VAB, Advertising Week NY, and Admonsters. From hosting roundtables to panel participation to keynotes, Albert has participated in more than 60 speaking engagements in person or virtually in the past 4 years. But his passion doesn’t stop there, as he frequently speaks to the youth within communities of color through notable Black fraternity and sororities.
The culmination of this industry visibility didn’t go unnoticed, so in 2002 I was honored by being named one of ADWEEK’s 2022 Media Allstars. In 2021, I launched The Transient Identiti podcast which chronicles the Voice of the Consumer with a singular aim of documenting the movements in the discipline of Marketing.
