Dan Golden is the Chief Search Artist at BFO, headquartered in Lakeview. Dan and his co-founder Steve Krull have built BFO into one of Chicago’s top digital marketing agencies. They’ve won a bunch of awards for their work with enterprise-level clients doing everything from digital strategy, SEO, Paid media, Analytics and content. BFO was on the INC 5000 list for six consecutive years. They have locations in Chicago, London and Singapore.

I’m really excited to have Dan on. Even before I knew anything about BFO, I knew who Dan was. He’s a unique personality. He’s extremely smart, he’s full of ideas and he’s recognizable! He famously wears orange everywhere he goes. I met Dan for a beer at Burning Bush Brewery in North Center to talk about agency life, the future of search and how he rebounded from “fan rock bottom” with $21.49 in Facebook ads.
