Ben Carlson is the Director of Client Strategy at Creative Edge, where he’s spent the last four years passionately discovering solutions tailored to meet clients’ unique needs. Ben leverages his extensive background in photography—spanning over 18 years—and combines it with his previous international experience as a sales and technical manager in the paper converting industry. His professional adventures have taken him across the U.S., Central and South America, and Europe, providing rich opportunities to capture the world’s stories through his camera. Ben studied Mechanical Engineering in Ireland and completed his degree in International Business Management at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

Committed to community growth, Ben actively supports local businesses and nonprofits through visual storytelling. From volunteering his photography and video services right here in Green Bay to journeys as far-reaching as Africa, he thrives on helping organizations share their missions with the world. A proud Ashwaubenon High School graduate, Ben has moved 31 times in 37 years but has firmly planted roots back in Green Bay, where he and his wife are raising their two kids and a spirited border collie. His passion for collaboration, creativity, and strategic problem-solving makes him an enthusiastic and dedicated member of the board, always looking to uncover exciting new ways to build up local businesses within the ABA community.
