READY TO START CONVERSATION?
“Having you on my team the last 3 plus years was like I drafted Lebron”
I’ve been in everything from platform channel pitches to internal filmmaker meetings and in every situation i am awestruck by Jared knowledge and skill from every access point, deal point and success in bringing massive upside each film or show he represents, including two of my last films whose future was certainly in jeopardy as Covid closures have decimated the theatrical business…Just when depression was about to turn to hopelessness, IN COMES JARED and in turned certain financial loss into massive financial gains – to the poing that a renewed passion to master this new landscape had come over me…because the excitement that working with Jared provided in our time, most recently with RUN and Hulu and Antebellum in its PVOD window…. Jared secured massive amounts of money making both Antebellum and Run, more profitable than they ever would have been in a theater…and done on the side while we were just considering a sale or a PVOD as an option.
Jared Goetz is everything you dream of in a fantastic partner. He’s smart, works hard, knows everyone, is well respected, and has complete integrity. And he makes you money! What’s not to love? Seriously, Jared helped Funny Or Die maximize a library title of ours in ways we didn’t think possible, and we look forward to working with him as much as possible. Hire this man!
It is with great pleasure that I write a letter of recommendation for Jared Goetz.
I hired Jared out of college nearly twenty six years ago. I knew immediately upon meeting him that he was someone special.
Our thirty minute interview lasted nearly ninety minutes. Jared was engaging, witty, smart, enthusiastic and a natural showman.
Over the twenty three years of working together, Jared was a spectacular salesman and strategic leader. He exceeded all sales targets, created new marketing strategies and helped change the distribution business.
Jared’s leadership has not only driven exponential growth in revenue in the AVOD space, but record licensing years for Lionsgate across the board.
A few things Jared taught me along the way:
- Always shoot for the moon, because you never know until you ask.
- When it comes to negotiating, try to make it a conversation and always remember – the worst they can say is “no”.
- You never ever want to burn a bridge, but feel free to rock it a little.
At the end of the day, our clients are partners and the better they do, the better we’ll do. Jared has really changed the trajectory of my life/career. I know that whatever the future may bring, I’m absolutely prepared and ready to lead in large part because of Jared’s mentorship.
There are few people who enter your life and change it for the better. Jared Goetz is one of those people. His empathy and class are unparalleled.
We met and discussed with Jared what we felt was missing before he arrived at LIONSGATE, and how he could help us. He listened with great interest and patience, he heard us out. His simple reply of…”I GET IT, give me 90 days”. And like a world renowned magician, in less than that 90 day period, he started mining our library spotlighting specific titles and groups of films; suggested specific marketing materials that would help him to reach the goals we set together; and the outstanding financial results started to flow within the company. He knows which platforms are looking for specific content. His laser focus is to deliver results. Financial results that we always felt were possible, dream numbers that very few could even agree were possible. All attainable and brilliant outcome with Jared.
“Jared Goetz has been a major asset to Lionsgate over the past three years since we pried him away from his 23-year tenure at Disney. At Lionsgate he elevated our SVOD sales area from a laggard to the industry leader and revenues and profits in this space have broken all previous highs since the company’s inception in 1998. His extraordinary work on the recent Mad Men re-licensing campaign after nine years on Netflix, is just one example of his world-class sales acumen.”
