MORE ABOUT JAMES
An entrepreneur since his teenage years, Wrapify CEO and Founder James Heller started a digital marketing and IT consulting company that set the foundation for him to become a marketing leader in tech for Fortune 50 companies. In 2015, James put all of his personal funds toward launching Wrapify, a performance-driven “out of home” ad-tech platform with $9.4 million in funding, providing brands with the ability to deploy high-recall advertising paired with retargeting and digital attribution to create a very effective omnichannel brand experience.
Since its inception, James has led the vision behind the Wrapify product, and been the cultivator of talent and sales team sledgehammer, while leveraging his marketing background to support the brand’s identity. In 2017 James was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 – Featured Honoree and he has also been a Launch Festival Speaker and is on the OAAA Innovations Committee.
Under James’ leadership, Wrapify has grown exponentially. In 2019, the size of the Wrapify team grew by 50%. Further, 62% of its revenue came as a result of brands and agencies leveraging Wrapify’s platform repeatedly. This customer retention has lead Wrapify to see triple-digit growth this year. Over the course of 2019, Wrapify was present through involvement at several industry events and contributions to top publications such as Business Insider, Forbes and MediaPost, and securing a place on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies.
