It is a pleasure to welcome Alan Locher as a guest on the latest episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Alan began his career as a Page for ABC-TV before joining the Walt Disney Studios in film promotions, leading to his niche in publicity. In Alan’s eight-year tenure at Disney, he worked closely with talent and studio executives on marketing more than 200 films. Following Disney, he transitioned to the agency side of the business, serving as the Senior Account Director for Rubenstein Public Relations.
Alan later led the PR team for two legendary Procter & Gamble Productions, As the World Turns and Guiding Light, which he grew up watching. Most recently, managed a team of 30 across marketing, sales and operations for On Location Tours, one of the world’s largest TV and movie tour companies. At the start of the pandemic, Alan Locher created The Locher Room, a virtual talk show on YouTube featuring celebrity guests from daytime, primetime, and film. To date, Alan has produced over 400 shows and raised over $130K for various charities.
He also launched Conversations with Alan to have open and honest discussions about the rise of hate, racism, and anti-Semitism in the United States with high hopes that it leads to conversations that make us all think about our place in history—and what we can do together to change our country’s course. Alan hopes you will watch these with an open mind and if you feel so inclined please share them with your friends and family. We can do better, be kinder, and love each other equally!
