Ken Braun
Ken Braun is a global digital strategist, creative visionary, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker who has been shaping the online landscape since he founded Lounge Lizard Worldwide in 1998. What began as a freelance banner ad business run out of a spare bedroom has grown into one of the most award-winning digital agencies in the United States, with offices across New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington D.C., Nashville, and beyond.
As Founder and Chief Brandtender, Ken has led the creation of hundreds of award-winning websites, digital and social ad campaigns, and performance-driven marketing strategies for enterprise and mid-market brands worldwide. His work spans web design and development, branding, SEO, GEO, AI content strategy, and omni-channel digital marketing, always with an eye toward measurable growth and lasting brand equity.
A Trusted Voice in Digital Marketing
A respected authority in digital innovation, Ken serves as a judge for the prestigious Webby Awards and contributes regularly to Forbes, where he writes about website design trends, user experience, and digital growth strategy. His insights have shaped how brands around the world think about storytelling, positioning, and measurable online performance.
From Madison Avenue to the First Million
Ken attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where his passion for advertising art and design was first ignited. In 1998, he left his Madison Avenue job to build something of his own, and by the end of that first year Lounge Lizard had earned its first million. He has since turned a marketing budget that started at $50 a month into more than $50 million in revenue, and he brings over three decades of hands-on leadership to every client engagement.
Black Belt Marketing
Ken is also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and the discipline shapes how he leads. He applies the same focus, resilience, and strategic precision of the mat to business, building brands with clarity, strength, and a sustained competitive edge. It is the foundation of his Black Belt Marketing philosophy: control your position before you attempt the finish, let technique beat raw budget, and treat SEO fundamentals as the drilling that compounds into long-term organic growth. Whether on stage or in the boardroom, Ken helps brands tap out the competition online by combining bold creative ideas with the data, strategy, and discipline that turn attention into action.
