SobelMedia

Bill Sobel, the Chief Connections Officer of SobelMedia has been described as a media powerhouse and a master connector. Sobel uses his massive network as a tool to both build his popular events, which draw 150-200 per month and to connect others in the media and technology space. Most people and companies that Bill consults with have a great product or service but rarely have the access he has to execute meetings with the correct players. In this way, Bill Sobel is a business matchmaker. Some of the connections that Sobel Media has driven include major broadcast and cable networks, Hollywood Studios, Multi-National media companies and film and video producers.
