BIO
Josh Raab is a digital strategist, specializing in emerging technologies and applying them to social platforms and visual storytelling.
Most recently he was Director of Social and Digital Platforms at National Geographic, where he managed teams that oversaw 40 accounts with 325M+ followers, including @NatGeo, the largest brand on Instagram.
tldr; he brings stories that matter, to as many people as possible, often in brand new ways.
He led the creation of 20 AR filters, pitched and launched National Geographic's TikTok, and oversaw hundreds of sponsored campaigns creating $15M of annual revenue.
Previously he was Senior Multimedia Editor at TIME and a professor at the International Center of Photography. When not working he can be found riding his bike - hopefully somewhere spectacular.
