Benjamin Kjos
His byline once said, “He used to play the French Horn.” If that doesn’t sum him up, what will? Karaoke crackerjack? Angela Lansbury enthusiast? Self-proclaimed Bingo-calling Badass?Who knows. What we do know is this: people usually list what they do for a living in a section like this. By day, Benjamin's "Bruce Wayne" job is a creative director. He develops communications campaigns and solutions for a list of Fortune 1000 clients. When asked what he does every day, he describes his work as “connecting the dots, making things happen, and generating excitement.” By night, his "Batman" job is teaching Copywriting courses at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. But you know what else gets him jazzed? Hosting events. From “Virtual Trivia Happy Hour” and “Meat Raffle at Your Wedding” to “All-Day Host At Super Cool Conference” … he’s game.During quarantine, he can often be found writing trivia questions for his Saturday night livestreamed trivia show, "Questions in Quarantine" (QiQ). To date, QiQ has generated more than $20,000 for local and regional organizations in need.
