NEW HIRE ANNOUNCEMENT: CHIEF GROWTH OFFICER, MIKE OWEN

We are elated to announce the hiring of Mike Owen, as our first Chief Growth Officer at First Tube. Mike will be responsible for leading our new business and marketing efforts across all channels (brand direct + agency) to drive significant awareness and adoption for our best in class products and services.

Since our inception, First Tube has been at the forefront of navigating and harnessing the complexity and opportunity for brands to innovate and leverage the power of live events and culture. With our recent development and launch of LiveAMP, alongside our continued evolution and innovation of First Tube’s full-service agency offerings, we needed to find the right leader to drive our growth and engage the market strategically and aggressively – and Mike is the perfect fit. 

With over two decades of visionary leadership in sales, marketing, and business development across the dynamic media and technology landscape, Mike has consistently anticipated and capitalized on industry inflection points, positioning organizations for sustained growth.

Mike’s strategic acumen is underscored by his track record of orchestrating high-performing teams that deliver exceptional results. From his instrumental role in the success of Quattro Wireless (acquired by Apple) to his contributions to AdColony (acquired by Opera Software) and Spiketrap (acquired by Reddit), he has consistently demonstrated an ability to navigate complexity and drive strategic initiatives forward.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Mike is deeply engaged as a community leader and trusted advisor and mentor shaping the future of the industry. Complimenting his strategic prowess, Mike Owen is an accomplished photographer, devoted husband, and proud father of two, embodying a holistic approach to success. 

Mike can be reached directly at [email protected] and will be based out of our LA Office. 

Please welcome Mike to the team!
