Our Team

The executive leadership team oversees the day-to-day responsibilities of managing our company.

Founder and CEO

Brian Benson

As CEO and Founder of the only fully centralized marketing and single supply company in the multifamily industry, Brian Benson has the vision and inspirational leadership to set new market standards. His commitment to excellence fuels a high-energy culture that is both challenging and fun. Brian founded Benson in 1992 as a small direct mail and print company that quickly and successfully evolved into a full service integrated marketing company. Brian and his team were the first US company to embed cross-media marketing technology into a digital storefront and Benson has been recognized by HP as the first to launch DIY Wall Covering technology in the US. Thriving on innovation and openly embracing change, Brian’s passion and entrepreneurial vision result in a constant desire to discover creative solutions and unmet needs in the marketplace. Leading with confidence, Brian understands that collaboration is essential for success and creates an atmosphere of empowerment that trickles down to everyone in the company. The essence of Benson is Thinking/Making/Delivering, which starts in our vision, plays out in our values and fundamentals, and is used in developing our long-term strategies. Brian is now taking his 30+ years of experience and sharing his knowledge as a board member of Dscoop (the world’s most extensive and most collaborative digital print and design community). After years of Benson IMS Sponsoring “wishes”, Brian has joined Make-A-Wish Georgia as a member of their Advisory Board.

“If a measurement matters at all, it is because it must have some conceivable effect on decisions and behavior. If we can’t identify a decision that could be affected by a proposed measurement and how it could change those decisions, then the measurement simply has no value”
