Ben Acott: fractional CMO and growth advisor for consumer brands. Founding CMO at Feastables (MrBeast), early growth at Manscaped, CEO & CMO at Onnit, founder of Magnetic Labs.
building $B brands since Dreamweaver
Hi, I'm Ben. I've been on the internet since 1999, back when we laid pages out in tables and prayed to the Flash gods. Since then I've been founding CMO at Feastables with MrBeast, early growth at Manscaped through a billion-dollar valuation, and launched Willie Nelson's cannabis beverage line to $80M in year one. Along the way I've broken Shopify, crashed a few thousand storefronts, and built brands your group chat already knows.
Today I run Magnetic Labs, my venture and growth studio, building brands with the biggest celebrity talent on earth. That's where the big builds go. This page is for the smaller stuff: an hour, a roast, a fractional seat, a phone that gets answered.
I don't do "best practices." I build brands that hit like a movement. Sign the guestbook on your way out.
