Global leader in SaaS technology to drive audiences and revenue, Futuri Media, announced the appointment of veteran media executive Zena Burns as the company’s new Senior Vice President for Strategic Marketing and Brand Development.

Burns brings to the company 20 years of experience in developing strategies for driving growth for traditional media properties through digital innovation. She has had roles at People Magazine’s Teen People Magazine and was the radio industry’s first Digital Program Director at iHeartMedia, and was also a key part of the team that developed and launched the iHeartRadio brand and app before founding the consulting agency Moxie Coalition.

In her new role at Futuri Media, Burns will lead high-level marketing initiatives for Futuri, direct its marketing and communications investments and collaborate with CEO Daniel Anstandig and Futuri’s leadership team on the development of Futuri’s suite of audience engagement and sales intelligence technology solutions. She will be based in Chicago and will also spearhead the opening of a Futuri office there. She will also recruit and develop a broader marketing and communications team.

 

“Zena is a forward-thinking, spirited thought leader with experience in elevating brands and a track record for strategically driving audience engagement. Recognizing the necessity of innovative technology solutions for broadcast media, she was an early client of Futuri’s, and we eagerly became a client of hers when she launched her agency,” said Futuri Media CEO Daniel Anstandig.

Said Burns, “Futuri’s remarkable and sustained year-over-year growth, paired with an incredible team led by true visionary and all-around great guy Daniel Anstandig, makes it a thrill for me to fully embed and better contribute to the company’s incredibly bright future. I said I’d never go in-house again after launching a successful agency, but this further proves to me that you should never say never!”
