Benji Hyam

San Francisco Bay Area

Co-Founder of Grow and Convert, previously ran marketing for two venture-backed startups in SF.

I specialize in helping companies grow their online audience and turn that audience into paying customers. Also, with early stage growth.

We practice what we preach. We built an audience first, grew Grow and Convert to 24,000 visitors in 5 months, and now close high 5-figure monthly contracts off of our site with no sales team for our agency.

Also started wordable.io - A SaaS software business to help people move blog posts from Google Docs to Wordpress with the click of a button. We now have more than 600 customers using our software.

Previously, I was the first marketing hire at ThinkApps. Grew ThinkApps blog to 35,000 monthly users in 6 months - their blog and site drove the biggest amount of leads and closed deals for the company. Check out my interview on the GrowthHacking podcast for more information.

Ran marketing for Everwise, backed by Webb Investment network, Canvas VC, and Sequoia Capital. Focused on social paid acquisition as a growth channel and grew their blog from 1-8,000 monthly users in 2 months.

I had the pleasure of working with Benji on a number of projects and I hope to work with him again in the future. Benji is a breath of fresh air in the crazy world of commerce. Always ahead of the curve and chalked full of innovative, creative and unique solutions on a number of fronts. All around great guy!

Benji is a talented Online/Social Media Marketer who is both strategic and tactical. I've rarely seen someone at such a young age, understand the online marketing landscape the way Benji does. Benji contrasts the notion that social media can't be measured from a branding and direct conversion standpoint.

He's also helped on various SEO projects, including link building and infographic/content creation. He's also got a great eye for landing page design all while keeping conversion optimization in mind. Benji is a rare talent that is a pleasure to work beside.

Benji's smart, loaded with ideas and knows how to present them. I was lucky to get to work with Benji the Vistage's Executive Street blog -- which he helped grow the traffic on substantially for the parent company.

Benji knows how to find good contributors for quality expert content and manages relationships well.

Benji also has a vast array of social media tricks that would offer a major asset to any company looking to scoop him up -- make sure to do so.

Benji is the rare combination of both being an expert and having the ability to explain and teach to people who are novices. I worked with Benji to develop my LinkedIn profile and to learn how to use LinkedIn for networking. In a few short sessions I was up to speed. Benji is truly an expert in social media and LinkedIn.

If you want to grow your business through Social Media, you need Benji Hyam on your team. He quietly and efficiently takes action to achieve your strategic goals using the latest Social Media Technologies. He created and managed our Street Media Team, bringing diverse members of the company together to voluntarily grow the Vistage brand in all channels of Social Media. He provided training, weekly updates, and targeted articles to help the rest of us understand how to effectively and efficiently use Social Media.

Benji laid the precursor to our current Social Media program goals, and has been very instrumental to the success of our on-line presence. If you need someone who is reliable, creative, caring and loves to learn and grow, consider adding Benji to your team. He would be a great addition to any organization!

From the moment Benji started at Vistage, he was full of great ideas about how to help our Talent Acquisition department use social media to grow the business. Vistage is very fortunate to have Benji's remarkable level of commitment, professionalism and ingenuity. I highly recommend Benji as a Social Media Marketing professional.
