Kevin Phillips Content Trainer, 10+ Years of Content Marketing Expertise, Content Marketing Trainer

Kevin spends his days teaching businesses how to develop digital marketing strategies to reach more customers.

After growing a small sleep medicine website from 2,500 visitors per month to over 400,000 (and growing), Kevin was recruited by The Sales Lion to teach others how to achieve similar success. Once TSL merged with IMPACT, Kevin now shares his expertise, insights, and dorkiness with IMPACT’s audience and clients.

When not nerding out on all things Inbound, Kevin enjoys spending his time with his beautiful wife and two delightfully terrible children doing all things Alaskan: snowboarding, hiking, fishing, 4-wheeling, and talking non-stop about the weather (yup, it’s starting to get warm outside. Now it’s cold again. Wait...nope...it’s still cold).
