As Disney Advertising’s vice president of sales, Jeremiah Tachna focuses on local and regional sales and business development and supports the House of Mouse’s premium brands, among them ABC, Disney+, Hulu, FX, and ESPN.
From the Oscars to the NFL, the NYC resident works to build partnerships and help companies reach Disney’s audiences. As a standout moment this year, Tachna cites a successful campaign with a luxury automotive brand to promote a new electric vehicle, which “combined long-form storytelling, bespoke content, and compelling short-form creative … to cut through the noise and connect with consumers in a meaningful way.”
At Disney, Tachna “takes pride in being a mentor to colleagues” and supports Disney VoluntEARS, which links employees to local and global projects. Through it all, he’s proud of what he’s accomplished as an out gay man.
“Living authentically is one of the most powerful forms of leadership,” Tachna asserts. “Visibility matters – not only for ourselves, but for the next generation who may be watching from the sidelines. It’s about ensuring that everyone can see there’s a place for them in the world.” @disneyadsales
