Evan Lazarus spent close to twenty years on Wall Street before walking away from a hedge fund he had built to over $300 million in assets. Along the way, he invested in multiple digital businesses, some successful, a few not, and developed a deep understanding of what actually moves the needle for growing companies.
In 2017, he channeled that experience into Simple Impact Media, a dental marketing and consulting firm built on a simple premise: you can’t improve a practice from the outside. Simple Impact pairs digital advertising, local search, and brand strategy with hands-on coaching, working inside the practice to drive real results. Outside of Simple Impact, Evan remains an active investor in digitally based businesses, bringing the same growth mindset and operational know-how to every venture he backs.
Today, Evan is recognized as one of the top voices in healthcare marketing and local search, named among the twenty-five people shaping hyperlocal marketing in the Philadelphia area. He’s a regular on industry podcasts, a keynote speaker, and an advocate for data-driven growth.
He lives in South Jersey with his wife Angela and their three kids, and spends whatever free time he has on the tennis court or talking Eagles football.
