BEN THOMPSON
I love utilizing the latest technology to reach audiences with engaging content. I grew up in East Tennessee, and have been fortunate to have accumulated over 15 years of experience on all sides of the advertising spectrum - from ideation and copywriting, to video editing and production, to placing ad buys and reviewing campaign analytics.
This experience has given me a deep understanding of the logistics involved to develop comprehensive advertising campaigns that reach marketing goals.
I've worked in a fast-paced agency environment developing hundreds of local, regional, and national branding and promotional marketing campaigns for linear and streaming TV, as well as social media and the web.
I've also managed day-to-day social media marketing operations and managed multi-screen ad buys across social media, pre-roll, OTT, display, and search platforms for the largest credit union in Tennessee.
I've led internship programs and creative design teams, built and managed in-house production studios, trained video producers and editors, streamlined production pipelines, and written over 120 SEO-focused blog articles for ActionVFX, the world's largest visual effects library.
I'm a firm believer that people and a positive work culture are among every company's greatest assets.
Ultimately, my aim is to glorify the God who has been so kind to me, and to take care of my wife and our five beautiful children.
I'd love to connect on LinkedIn, and if you have any questions for me, feel free to get in touch!
