Joe Prota

Hey, I’m Joe, Mike’s old roommate. I helped Mike find his phone on the first night of college and we’ve been friends ever since.

Now I’m the Director of Brand Marketing for IBM. I work to educate the market on who IBM is and what IBM does. Before leading Brand Marketing, I helped redefine IBM’s social media strategy, build our social data & influencer practice and establish our governance process.

Before IBM, I spent 15 years working for leading ad agencies. I was lucky enough to grow YouTube as a brand and cultural force, reinvent BMW’s .com experience and help revolutionize how products are created and marketed at Hasbro.

Outside of work, you can find me with my wife, our two boys & our dog, helping out with various charities, or making pizza in the backyard.
