No fluff. No jargon. Just 20+ years of real-world experience building agencies, platforms, and companies — distilled into talks, workshops, and a book that actually move the needle.
Frank O'Brien didn't start in tech — he started in the trenches of marketing. From executing campaigns for Outkast, Usher, Kanye West, The Killers, and Fall Out Boy at major labels, to founding the award-winning 60-person agency Conversation — featured on AMC's "The Pitch" in 2013 — Frank learned what works by doing it.
He then built Five Tier, one of the first programmatic digital out-of-home and Connected TV platforms, landing segments on CNBC Power Lunch, Forbes, NPR, Consumer Reports, and Bloomberg — back when most marketers couldn't even spell "programmatic."
Today, as Founder & Chairman of My Marketing Pro, Frank is building the AI-powered marketing platform that brings Fortune 500 capabilities to businesses of every size. He was recognized by the White House as an inspiring business leader, his agency made the Inc. 500|5000 list, and he's been cited in The New York Times, Forbes, and Business Insider.
He speaks the way he builds: directly, with substance, and without the BS.
The world moves fast. Markets shift. AI changes everything. And most people freeze. Stop Freaking Out is Frank's playbook for the moments when the ground shifts under your feet — in business, in tech, in life.
Drawing on two decades of building and rebuilding — from a music industry nobody knew was dying, to an agency world that was being disrupted, to advertising channels that didn't exist yet — Frank delivers the raw, honest framework for how to read the room, make the move, and come out ahead.
Frank delivers high-energy keynotes and hands-on workshops for conferences, corporate events, universities, and media. Every session is built on real experience — not theory — and tailored for actionable takeaways your audience can implement immediately.
Frank is a seasoned on-camera and on-mic commentator with segments on CNBC, Bloomberg, CheddarTV, NPR, and more. He breaks down complex topics — AI, marketing technology, entrepreneurship, advertising, and digital privacy — in a direct, engaging way that resonates with any audience.
Whether it's a keynote that fires up your team, a workshop that transforms your marketing, or a playbook your organization can run with — Frank brings the same no-nonsense, results-driven approach to every engagement.
