Jeff Ostroff’s multi-faceted career as a marketing and communications professional has enabled him to work with and for many organizations: small to large, fledgling to established, public to private sector. He has used his skills and experience to promote businesses, ventures, products, services, and major initiatives.

Over the past few years, Jeff has added new skills and services to his portfolio- including podcast/show creation and hosting, professional B2B/B2C interviewing, voice-over work, and his presentations on how to be more lucky in your life. His first and long-running Looking Forward® podcast, continues Jeff’s interest in and passion for GLOBAL trends and opportunities to be found in the marketplace. This was one of the things he covered in his highly praised book, “Successful Marketing to the 50+ Consumer” (Prentice-Hall). His latest creation is the Voices of the Founders audio promotion show.
