About

Second Row

Perspective lives one row back.

Second Row is a strategic platform operating at for events, advisory, and speaking. It is built to convene the right people, shape the conversation, and position ideas where they matter.

Jacob Gerow is the founder and Principal at Second Row. Along with a stacked network of experts available for projects of all scales, Jacob orchestrates projects that create lasting impact. 

How it works

Events

Curated rooms that bring stakeholders together around a single issue.
Advisory

Strategy, positioning, and access across government, media, and institutional networks.
Speaking

Structured conversations that translate complexity into clarity.

Approach

Influence is rarely built in public. It forms in smaller rooms, through controlled conversations, with the right mix of people. Second Row operates in that space—quietly structuring the environment where decisions and narratives take shape.

Who it’s for

  • Organizations operating in regulated or policy-driven environments
  • Teams navigating complex stakeholder landscapes
  • Leaders seeking clarity, positioning, and access

Not the front row. The row where things actually move.

Work with Second Row

Built for organizations that need more than visibility.
