Ryan Benson is a creative marketing leader with 12 years building buzzy, culture-forward brands and communities across agencies and startups. As Managing Editor of Silence, Brand! and Partner/Creative Director at LOUDMOUTH, he specializes in organic social strategies that spark viral moments, surprise-and-delight stunts, and low-cost social experiments that scale. He’s led campaigns driving billions of impressions (including a record Chipotle PR moment) and measurable Gen Z engagement tied to sales lift. Comfortable both as a hands-on content producer and a strategic provocateur, Ryan runs a consulting collective that takes on the weird and the risky when others won’t. Based in Antioch, Illinois, he blends newsroom instincts with agency rigor and a track record of turning cultural moments into sustained brand affinity. He’s open to speaking opportunities and enjoys designing creative stunts that feel accidental until they work.
