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).

Liz Moorehead Editor-in-Chief, Speaker, Host of 'Content Lab' Podcast

As editor in chief, I oversee the content division at IMPACT. We publish fresh and relevant industry insights via written, video, and audio content every single day of the year, so that our audience can make smarter decisions faster, achieve their most aggressive goals, and advance in their careers.

My team also oversees the development and publication of on-demand digital sales and marketing training courses, lessons, and certifications within IMPACT+, our premier, online education and success platform for growth-focused business leaders and professionals.

In addition, I am a keynote speaker and educator on the topics of content strategy and development, storytelling, voice and tone, content ROI, video strategy, on-camera video performance, sales enablement, and more. I also author our thrice-weekly email newsletter, THE LATEST, which has more than 70,000 lifetime subscribers.

Outside of the office, I'm a freelance beer writer, an avid road-tripper and traveler, a workout nut with questionable coordination skills, and a steadfast fan cheering on my hometown Washington, D.C., sports teams from afar. (#natitude) My love languages are AP Stylebook, Fast and Furious movies, cold weather, The Godfather trilogy, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
