Bonin Bough (born Brant Bonin Bough on December 27, 1977) is an American marketing executive, author, and host of the CNBC show Cleveland Hustles.
Early life and education
Bough was born on December 27, 1977, in New York. He attended Hartwick College, earning degrees in Physics and Political Science.
Career
In 2008, Bough began working at PepsiCo as the digital and social media director. During his time at the company, he ran a "digital fitness" bootcamp which educated the company's executives on technology in an attempt to bridge the gap between them and their customer base.
In 2011, Fast Company named him one of its "100 Most Creative People In Business", while Fortune named him on their list of 40 under 40. In 2012, Bough left PepsiCo to become chief media and e-commerce officer at Mondelez International, a confectionery, food, and beverage company spun-off from Kraft Foods. Later, in 2017, Bough defended Pepsi when it was critized for the "Live for Now" commercial.
In January 2013, during the power outage at the Super Bowl XLVII, Bough had the idea to tweet "Power out? No problem.You can still dunk in the dark." Mondelez International had been working to develop a day-to-day Twitter campaign to engage customers.
In 2013, he was inducted into the American Advertising Federation Hall of Fame. In 2014, Adweek named Bough #4 on their list of "most influential buyers, sellers and marketers", estimating his media spending at $182 million.
In 2016, Bough was involved in a marketing campaign for Stride Gum that hired skydiver Luke Aikins to make a jump without a parachute or wingsuit. Aikins leapt from a plane at 25,000 feet (7,600 m) in California landing in a net; the event aired live on television.
Bough published Txt Me, a book on direct cellphone text marketing.
On August 24, 2016, Bough left Mondelez to host the CNBC television reality series Cleveland Hustles. The series is produced by LeBron James and based on the premise of helping local entrepreneurs start a new business.
