This is my terribly-official speaker bio. If you’re here, it’s probably because I sent you a link. If that’s not the case, I apologize. Please move along. Maybe look at my Speaking page, or check out my nerd credentials.
OK, here goes (deep breath):
Ian Lurie is a digital marketer with a twenty-five-year intolerance of trendy concepts and nonsense. Someone told him not to say bull3h!t, so he’s trying really hard not to.
Ian uses both sides of his brain as a content creator, search engine optimization nerd and data addict.
He speaks at conferences worldwide, including MozCon, SearchLove, Retail Global, and Learn Inbound. He writes everywhere. Seriously, do a search.
Ian founded Portent, a digital marketing agency, in 1995, and sold it to Clearlink in 2017. He’s now on his own, consulting for brands he loves and speaking at conferences that provide Diet Coke. He’s also trying to become a professional Dungeons & Dragons player, but it hasn’t panned out.
You can find him pedaling his bike up Seattle’s ridiculous hills, or send him a note on Twitter (@ianlurie) or LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianlurie/).
He has a TikTok profile, but his kids are embarrassed by it, so we’ll leave that out.
