Bio
Kas Andz
Ben is an absolute pleasure to work with. Humble, Autonomous and driven. I've worked with a fair few 'experts' who often pretend they know what they're talking about, but Ben is part of the few who I wholeheartedly trust to get the job done, and done damn well. No fluff - just a great marketer :)
Jackie Schlussel Goldberg
When I worked with Ben I was always impressed with his creativity and resourcefulness. When I was trying to work through a challenge or brainstorm new ideas, he was always happy to help and offered useful suggestions like it was nothing. In addition to being a marketing wiz, he was also always lovely to work with, which makes any job more enjoyable. It was great to work with Ben then and I'd be happy if our paths crossed again in the future.
