About Jonathan Verk

I’m the Founder and CEO of Social Department, an AI-powered platform built specifically for networks, studios, streamers, FAST platforms, and IP owners who need to market and monetize more content than traditional teams can handle.Social Department automates strategy, creative discovery, asset production, and distribution—using data, not opinion—to help teams activate live programming, new releases, and deep libraries at scale.Over the last 20+ years, I’ve built, scaled, and exited multiple companies at the intersection of media, technology, and marketing. I’ve worked closely with senior executives across television, digital media, and emerging platforms, helping organizations modernize how they grow audiences and generate revenue.Today, my focus is simple: building infrastructure that allows creative teams to do their best work while eliminating the manual, time-consuming processes that slow them down.If you’re responsible for growth, marketing, or monetization in today’s fragmented media landscape, I’m always open to a conversation.
