🎉 About Kevan Lee and Shannon Deep

Kevan Deep: Kevan’s built the world’s kindest marketing teams at some of the world’s coolest tech companies. From working at big, renowned brands like Vox to taking (now big, now renowned) brands like Buffer and Oyster from zero to one, Kevan shines in the distinctly creative and generative processes involved in nurturing early- and expansion-stage companies into their cranky teenage years—while helping them figure out who they were always meant to be. He’s the boss you’ve always wanted and the creative enabler you deserve.

Shannon Deep: Not only is Shannon a world-class brand-builder for billion-dollar tech companies, she’s also an artist, writer, and all-around creator who enjoys stretching across virtually any medium. She’s built brand marketing teams. She’s helped make Super Bowl commercials. She co-hosted a songwriting podcast for seven years. And she recently finished her first book (#amquerying). Those who have worked with her at places like Siegel+Gale, Dashlane, and Oyster would do so again in an instant.
