Summary
Brendan Wenzel is a growth-focused ecommerce and social commerce leader with eight years of formal experience and nearly two decades of hands-on digital marketing work, from founding a niche apparel brand to directing paid social strategies for high-growth clients. He combines creative, media buying, and technical skills—coding, Shopify optimization, and advanced spreadsheets—to drive measurable revenue gains (including a contract that scaled a client’s average monthly revenue from $58k to $256k and $4.3M in attributed sales). As Director of Social Commerce at 456 Growth Media and an active ecommerce consultant, he has managed multimillion-dollar ad budgets, built audiences of millions, and executed profitable exits. Unusually for a marketer, he also develops in Rust and Solidity, focusing on backend blockchain work, which gives him a unique technical lens on product and platform integrations. Based in Newport Beach, he’s known for quickly diagnosing business problems and delivering pragmatic, revenue-first solutions.
