About Drew
Drew Blumenthal is the founder and CEO of Digital Drew SEM, a New York City–based digital marketing agency he started in 2017 after years inside some of the world's largest advertising agencies and Fortune 500 marketing teams. He built Digital Drew SEM as the antidote to layered, slow-moving agency culture — a senior, hands-on team where clients work directly with the experts running their accounts, not a rotating cast of junior account managers.

What Drew Does
Drew personally leads strategy across every service line at Digital Drew SEM — Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn, SEO, social media, email marketing, web development, and white-label fulfillment for other agencies. He's managed paid and organic campaigns across nearly every industry imaginable, including e-commerce, legal, healthcare, SaaS, home services, hospitality, financial services, and high-end consumer brands. His specialty is taking accounts that aren't performing and finding the structural problems — wasted spend, broken tracking, wrong-fit channels, weak conversion paths — that other agencies miss.
Recognition & Press
Drew has been featured in Forbes, Success Magazine, LA Weekly, Men's Journal, Disrupt Magazine, Daily News, Village Voice, Haute Living, and Gotham Magazine. Under his leadership, Digital Drew SEM has been named a Top PPC Agency by DesignRush, Top PPC Agency in NYC by Expertise.com, and one of the Best PPC Management Companies by PromotionWorld. The agency is a certified Google Partner and Semrush Partner.
The Book
In 2025, Drew published Digital Drew's Playbook: Winning at Marketing and Ads in the Age of AI — a no-fluff guide for business owners and marketers on how to actually use AI in advertising and SEO. Not as a buzzword. As a competitive edge. The book is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
Background
Drew is a graduate of West Chester University. Before founding Digital Drew SEM, he held marketing roles at major advertising agencies and worked with Fortune 500 brands, where he developed the performance-first philosophy that defines the agency today. He lives and works in New York City.
