Ben Kellogg
Bunsen Studio
CEO
Ben is a veteran scientific storyteller and strategist who has helped some of the leading thinkers of our time nail their narrative. He spent over a decade with the TED Conference, training scientists to distill their ideas and deliver them with gusto. After founding a PR firm focused on frontier biotech, he now advises Congress on biotech strategy through the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology.He knows firsthand how crucial it is for cutting-edge companies to explain their technology to non-scientists and investors โ but he could never find an agency that did it effectively. So he co-founded Bunsen to be the world's leading creative agency for frontier science companies: the one shop that truly understands what they do, and how to get people excited about it.He lives in New York.
