Will Roth is a proud graduate of Emory University and seasoned media and advertising executive with 13+ years of experience. He has served in numerous capacities in the digital space, starting on the sales side at AT&T, Vox Media, and Participant Media — ever comfortable pitching and closing meaningful partnerships — and ranging into inhouse entrepreneur roles at Time Inc. and Publicis Groupe. In the latter capacity, Will is credited for having founded and led The Foundry, Time Inc.’s (then Meredith Corp.’s, and DotDash Meredith’s) dedicated custom/native content division. Responsible for securing best-in-class creative and production talent, he was also required to build the product suite that powered the firm’s profitable offering. While managing COVIDignited production pivots, Will also chose to become intimately involved with the corporation’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, serving on its corporate DE&I counsel and as an Executive Sponsor for its Employee Resource Group, MediaUpstarts. Will departed the company in April 2022, but only after having strategically placed his $100MM division into its new ownership structure for continued success — his second transformational acquisition in 3.5 years marked by nearly zero attrition.

Will is a family man, first and foremost. A proud father to identical twin 3-year-old girls and adoring husband to his college sweetheart, he understands and deeply appreciates the vital importance of work life balance and believes firmly that professionals must be able to find fulfillment both in their job and in their free time. This value was made abundantly clear during his battle with Brain Cancer, beginning when he was 26, and has inspired him to lean in as a Brand Advisor to the National Brain Tumor Society and to stand proudly as a patient advocate whenever the need arises. Today, Will is serving as Vice President of Investor Relations for Unchained Partners, a strategic consultancy specializing in accelerating technology builds for entrepreneurs and companies eager to capitalize in A.I., Blockchain, Gaming and Web3. He also serves as an advisor to several early-stage companies. He is focused on and inspired by technologies sure to revolutionize modern marketing.

Will is a consummate steward of brands and facilitator of growth, eager to lend his expertise and passion to the next generation of creative professionals bringing important solutions to an ever-changing market.
