The terribly-official bio.

OK, here goes (deep breath):

Ian Lurie is a 30-year digital marketing nerd who believes marketing is at its best when you teach the heck out of everything. You'll find him hunched over his desk working on digital strategy, SEO, and AI.

Previously, Ian was CEO at Portent, a digital marketing agency he founded in 1995 and sold in 2017. He now consults for brands he loves, teaches at the University of Washington, and speaks at conferences around the world.

You can find him pedaling his bike up Seattle's ridiculous hills, or on LinkedIn.

He also believes diversity and inclusion matter, and works that way.
