About Ben Eckerson

With 25+ years of creative experience, I’m a catalyst fueled by curiosity and enthusiasm—someone who helps teams and clients produce imaginative, high-impact work.Most recently, I’ve been building in the AI space as a co-founder at Agentcy building custom agents, automating workflows, and helping teams separate AI that drives real outcomes from AI that’s just noise. I also co-founded Fantasy Draft Channel, an AI-powered companion for fantasy football drafts, where I’ve been experimenting at the intersection of sports, storytelling, and technology.Previously, I spent seven years as a COO & Partner at Savas Labs, helping grow the company from a team of 5 to 35 and leading business development, marketing, and operations. Prior to that, I led digital engagements at Viget for clients such as NBC Sports, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Conservation International, Adult Swim, and Duke University. I began my digital career at McKinney, creating fully integrated campaigns for Virgin Atlantic, Nationwide Insurance, Mizuno USA, Nasdaq, Travelocity, and Audi.My work over the years has been nominated for MIXX, One Show, and Webby awards and has been featured by Creativity Online, FWA, Mashable, The New York Times, CBS, NBC, and CNN — but that’s all peanuts compared to my amazing wife and two awesome children.

   Agentcy

   Dec 2025 — Present

   Agentcy is an AI transformation consultancy for companies that can\'t afford to pause their business to rebuild it. We operate like a venture studio inside your company — innovating while you operate.What we do:• GTM Strategy — Design and deploy agentic revenue operations: research agents, personalized outreach at scale, PQL detection, and churn prevention systems.• AI Systems — Build enterprise-grade agent orchestration, RAG knowledge systems, and integration architecture that actually works in production (not just demos).• Product Acceleration — 0→1 builds in weeks, not months. AI-powered features, rapid prototyping, and the engineering firepower to ship.The problem we solve: Most companies are stuck between \"we need to transform\" and \"we can\'t stop running the business.\" We bridge that gap your team stays focused on what\'s now, we build what\'s next.Cofounded with Eric Boduch (ex-Pendo) to bring venture-studio speed to enterprise transformation.
