Ken Anderson

Builds the brand authority and product narrative that B2B SaaS companies need to drive predictable revenue

· Portland, OR · Available

Background

Eighteen years scaling Smarsh from challenger brand to global category leader as the first marketing hire, then through VP, SVP, and Interim CMO roles across three PE-backed phases and fifteen acquisitions. Prior decade in professional sports communications at the Nashville Predators and other franchises.

Focus

I work with B2B SaaS companies where brand authority and product narrative are strategic advantages rather than support functions. My focus is the integration of brand, demand generation, product marketing, and PR so they reinforce each other rather than run in parallel. I have built each function from scratch.
