- Jeff Januszek is the founder of Jeff Januszek Social Media, a New Orleans based social media agency.
Jeff's agency focuses on organically growing social media channels for clients like Breaux Mart Supermarkets, Fidelity Bank, and NOLA Lending Group. The best social media strategy comes from creating relationships with target audiences through original content, engaging personality, and attention grabbing ads. Originally from Detroit, in 2011 Jeff married a New Orleans girl. This cemented his one-way ticket to living in the Crescent City. Before starting his agency in 2014, Jeff spent 17 years in radio, 11 of those as an award winning morning show personality. When not thumbing through client work on his phone, Jeff loves spending time with his wife, 2-year-old son, and 7-month-old twin daughters.
