Brad Shorr is Director of Content & Social Media at Straight North, a Chicago Internet marketing agency.

Brad has an extensive background in B2B marketing, with in-house, agency, and entrepreneurial experience. Skilled in content marketing strategy, business blogging, SEO copywriting, and social media, Brad works with clients of all sizes, giving him a broad perspective on marketing challenges and solutions. He has been a popular blogger and social media participant since 2006, and writes frequently on social marketing and related topics. His informative (and at times entertaining) articles have appeared on industry-leading blogs including Smashing Magazine, Six Revisions, and Search Engine Journal.

A graduate of Northwestern University, Brad lives in the Chicago area. Throughout his career, he has been adept at recognizing and applying new marketing techniques and technologies. In the 1980s, he developed an innovative telemarketing model for industrial sales and built a multimillion dollar operation from scratch within five years. More recently, his consultancy, Word Sell, Inc., was among the first to introduce blogging and social media to the business world. Word Sell was acquired by Straight North in 2010.

Straight North offers a full range of online marketing services, and is a leading Chicago Web design and Chicago SEO firm. The agency develops strategy and executes marketing programs for clients with lead generation and e-commerce websites whether they market regionally, nationally, or internationally.

Brad's interests include world history, theology, alternative rock, golf, and rooting for the "other" Chicago baseball team, the Chicago White Sox. You can connect with Brad on Twitter, with Brad on LinkedIn, and with Straight North on Facebook.
