About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Where: Boise, Idaho, USA
Experience: Over 15 years in tech, working as a head of marketing for brand-oriented, high-growth, innovative startups like Buffer, Oyster, and Vox. Kevan got his start as a journalist, writing stories for the sports section of newspapers before switching gears to startup marketing where the storytelling remained but the 2:00 a.m. deadlines went away (mostly). He’s been building startup brands ever since, whether in-house for soon-to-be unicorns or now at Bonfire where he works with Shannon to invest in the creative work they love.
About your retreat hosts: Bonfire Collective
Bonfire is part-agency, part-community, and all-Trojan Horse for what our brand really stands for: a more creative world for everyone.
With backgrounds in creative disciplines that somehow led to 15 years in startup marketing, Kevan and Shannon always dreamed about crafting real-life, in-person experiences that take people out of the knowledge-word grind and show them that a more creative, connected, and fulfilling relationship with work is possible.
Kevan and Shannon are excited to welcome you to The Soft Reset and look forward to many meaningful chats around the (literal) bonfire!
