Justin Lefkovitch (born August 29, 1987) is an American entrepreneur. He is the founder and CEO of Mirrored Media, an experiential marketing firm. [1]
Lefkovitch grew up in Westlake Village, California. He attended Pepperdine University, where as a student he began working with singer/songwriter Ray Kennedy. As Kennedy's manager, he discovered the “deficiencies and frustrations that artists endured,” and began to research ways to create additional revenue sources and increase audience size, ultimately focusing on brand partnerships. As his ideas took shape, Lefkovitch wrote a business plan for Pepperdine's business plan competition. It emphasized the merger of music and digital media and the power of experience-based marketing as a strategy to engage millennials. Lefkovitch graduated from Pepperdine with a bachelor's degree in business in 2009. [2] [3] [4]
In 2010, based on the ideas he first developed for the Pepperdine competition, Lefkovitch founded Mirrored Media. Composers and entrepreneurs Steve Kofsky and Hans Zimmer were his initial strategic partners. In 2011, Lefkovitch met angel investor Vaden Saunders, who subsequently invested $500,000 in Mirrored Media. The company has since created experiential campaigns for clients including Google Play, Acura, TuneCore, Syfy, CraveOnline, and 20th Century Fox. Mirrored Media was included on the Event Marketer 2015 "It List" of Top 100 Event Agencies. [2] [5]

Engagement marketing, sometimes called "experiential marketing", "event marketing", "on-ground marketing", "live marketing", "participation marketing", "Loyalty Marketing", or "special events", is a marketing strategy that directly engages consumers and invites and encourages them to participate in the evolution of a brand or a brand experience.

Digital marketing is the component of marketing that uses the Internet and online-based digital technologies such as desktop computers, mobile phones and other digital media and platforms to promote products and services. Its development during the 1990s and 2000s changed the way brands and businesses use technology for marketing. As digital platforms became increasingly incorporated into marketing plans and everyday life, and as people increasingly used digital devices instead of visiting physical shops, digital marketing campaigns have become prevalent, employing combinations of search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), content marketing, influencer marketing, content automation, campaign marketing, data-driven marketing, e-commerce marketing, social media marketing, social media optimization, e-mail direct marketing, display advertising, e-books, and optical disks and games have become commonplace. Digital marketing extends to non-Internet channels that provide digital media, such as television, mobile phones, callbacks, and on-hold mobile ring tones. The extension to non-Internet channels differentiates digital marketing from online marketing.
Return on marketing investment (ROMI) is the contribution to profit attributable to marketing, divided by the marketing 'invested' or risked. ROMI is not like the other 'return-on-investment' (ROI) metrics because marketing is not the same kind of investment. Instead of money that is 'tied' up in plants and inventories, marketing funds are typically 'risked'. Marketing spending is typically expensed in the current period.

Content marketing attracts new customers by creating and sharing valuable free content.

Companies address a range of stakeholders through social media marketing, including current and potential customers, current and potential employees, journalists, bloggers, and the general public.
