About Kevan Lee
I am the co-founder of a brand and storytelling business (https://aroundthebonfire.com) that works with some of the coolest up-and-coming brands and most delightful people to help tell better stories. We support these brands and individuals through advisory work, coaching, content, and community. Prior to Bonfire, I led the marketing team at Oyster, where I set strategy, vision, and direction for how we built our brand, drove awareness, created demand, and positioned our product. Oyster is a mission-driven B2B SaaS platform for global employment, purpose-built to help companies hire, pay, and care for their distributed teams. Prior to Oyster, I led the marketing teams at Polly and at Buffer. I built out the marketing org for Polly, hiring the initial team and setting up strategy and operations. At Buffer, I led a team of 10 awesome marketers for a product that had 8 million users and served 75,000 remarkable brands. I helped Buffer grow from $1 million to $30 million in annual revenue; we acquired 100,000 new users per month and reached a monthly audience of more than 1.5 million. Along with my work at Oyster, I advise the Feedly team on growth and positioning, and I teach growth marketing in a degree program at Boise State University.
