Owen Frager, Chief Innovation Officer of the Frager Creative Group, and principal blogger at Frager Factor, is a "name maker" who has created monikers patented by Bell Labs that are generating $50 million a month since 1990. Over a career with Alcatel-Lucent and another decade at the helm of his own firm, Owen conceived of monikers for companies, brands, programs, software and services that have generated additional multibillion dollar revenues and continue to earn monthly residuals around the world. Often, a positioning statement or slogan coined by Owen has helped to clarify the category or benefit of the brand. And provide a competitive advantage.
But, as domain names cross the rubicon into full fledged brands, that's not all he brings to the table.
He's helped global brand leaders like Alcatel, Citrix, CVS and Ricoh champion technology revolutions and accelerate growth. From digital postage to outsourcing to prescriptions by mail to cloud computing, he’s helped launch services and technologies that have changed economies and redefined how business is run.

He's helped global brand leaders like Alcatel, Citrix, CVS and Ricoh champion technology revolutions and accelerate growth. From digital postage to outsourcing to prescriptions by mail to cloud computing, he’s helped launch services and technologies that have changed economies and redefined how business is run.
He's built his own brand by looking beyond the accepted ways of doing things, developing marketing strategies and programs that produce impressive results:
• A combined $7 billion growth of shareholder value
• Acquisition of SEVEN private companies by billion-dollar brands - including a pharmacy company whose sales soared so dramatically it was acquired byCVS
• Elevation of eight middle managers to CEO
Because of results like these, Frager’s clients remain unusually loyal. And when they move on to other companies or opportunities, they call him in. They know: Owen is avidly committed to "thinking ahead of the curve" - a creative model that's predictive of trends rather than merely responsive.
Beyond Frager Creative, his day job marketing agency serving Fortune 500 brands, Owen's blogs and online communities attract tens of thousands of visitors a day. In addition, his work has been featured on NBC and CBS; in Print Magazine, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
