Jordan von Netzer could be considered a walking encyclopedia of film and popular culture knowledge, and challenges anyone out there to this category in trivial pursuit. Serving as CW3's chief celebrity wrangler and pop culture aficionado, Jordan is a great advisor on knowing the best targets to hit toward a particular market, taking into account quickly-changing trends.

Jordan has worked on both sides of the camera for television shows Date My Ex, Desperate Housewives, Mad Men, True Blood, Steven Spielberg's The Pacific, My Own Worst Enemy and several commercials. Born and raised in Oklahoma City and a graduate of OU's film department, Jordan knows all the appropriate times to turn on (or off!) the southern charm. One of his first Hollywood gigs was being the personal assistant to Ms. Faye Dunaway… since then he now believes he can conquer just about any PR challenge.
