Frank Kugel, BBA
A True Social Media Swiss Army Knife.
Always asking: Who, why, and what?
Hi, I'm Frank.
Currently, I lead the organic social media team and operations at WebstaurantStore, the leading B2B online restaurant supply store. My responsibilities include overseeing social media analytics, collaborations, content creation, publishing, platform and community management, strategic enhancements, and third-party review sites.
With over 10 years of experience in organic social media across various industries, I have worked for some of the world's largest and most iconic brands. My work has reached diverse audiences, from B2B to B2C, at regional to global scales.
My journey in social media began when my friends and I started a football-themed Twitter account, which quickly grew to over 130,000 followers. This success ignited my interest in the business side of social media and led me to pursue a BBA in Marketing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Since then, I have been dedicated to helping brands enhance their organic social media presence and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
