Brent Listner

Problem solving, pattern recognition, and analysis are just some of the traits that allow Brent to excel in paid search marketing. The title may read PPC Manager, but Brent is more of a PPC Scientist. His educational background includes a B.S. in Meteorology from Penn State and a M.S. in Environmental Health from Temple University. While you don’t need to know how to derive the hydrostatic equation to become an expert in AdWords, the fundamentals of a scientific background come in handy.

His path to PPC was certainly a road less traveled. While interning with NBC 10 in Philadelphia, he was taken under the wing of Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz, who helped Brent enhance his innate pattern recognition abilities. Brent would later use these skills to conduct socioeconomic vulnerability analysis while working with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Seeking new challenges, Brent discovered an opportunity at FourFront, a digital marketing agency. He quickly became the foremost authority on PPC in the company and delivered record breaking results to the clients.

In September of 2014, he left FourFront to found his own vision: Stratiform. Brent Listner is Google AdWords certified, Video Advertising certified, and a Bing Ads accredited professional.
