Who WE Are Meet BENlabs.
We’re transforming the way brands and creators connect with their audiences. With a foundation built on industry-leading expertise across product placement, influencer marketing and social media channel optimization, we leverage data-driven insights to turn moments of attention into lasting emotional connections and measurable business outcomes.
We believe in the power of entertainment to create lasting connections between brands, creators and their audiences. Our unique approach fuses storytelling and strategic insights to help our clients engage with their target audiences in meaningful, memorable ways. By interpreting data from the places where audiences are engaged the most – entertainment and social media platforms – we drive both emotional engagement and measurable business results.
We work with a roster of clients that ranges from individual YouTube creators to brands like Frito Lay, Microsoft, General Motors, Electronic Arts, or Spotify. Each of these unique customers partners with BENlabs for our strategic guidance in ensuring that their content and integrations foster deeper audience connections.
Our team is global, with employees centered in Los Angeles (headquarters), Provo, New York, London, and across Europe.
Here at BENlabs, we understand that our employees are instrumental to our continued success. Joining BENlabs means becoming part of a results-oriented, client-centric, and highly creative team.
Here, you'll have the opportunity to learn from the industry's best and brightest, in an environment that values transparency, teamwork, respect, dedication, and embracing tough challenges. Your journey with us promises to be both rewarding and impactful.
