general information | Kent Lewis biography

Founded in 2000 by Kent Lewis, Anvil is a marketing consultancy specializing in solving business problems via the Internet. Anvil’s clients benefit from a broad array of services designed to increase revenue and decrease costs while supporting branding and marketing initiatives. Anvil is continually building relationships with partners to better service existing clients.

The origins of Anvil can be traced back to 1996, when Kent Lewis created a free weekly email newsletter covering the Internet industry. Anvil evolved over the years into a monthly ezine "unencumbered by relevance" that is less promotional and more of a creative outlet. After leaving an agency he helped co-found in 1999, Lewis decided to hang a shingle of his own and elected to stick with a name that had built-in equity.

The consultancy and the ezine are still going strong, but Lewis needed more stimuli. In 2000, he founded pdxMindShare, a filtered-networking event focusing on creating meaningful professional connections. Lewis has also been an adjunct professor at Portland State University for the past few years and sits on two industry organization boards. For more information, check out his biography.
