Biography

Evan Dechtman is a keynote speaker and digital transformation expert with over 25 years of experience helping businesses harness AI, automation, and smart systems to grow. He has served 350+ clients and founded three technology and marketing companies: HEARD Digital Marketing, TopSpin Digital, and BirdieEngine.

Origin Story

Evan started as a musician. At age 23, he and his business partner renovated an old theater called the Bluebird to bring live music and cinema to their community. When audiences weren't showing up despite great shows and a dream space, he realized it wasn't just about the show, it was about being seen.

He taught himself how to get visible online, built a website, and learned search engine marketing before it was mainstream. He filled that theater with an audience.

That experience led him to found HEARD Digital Marketing, a Denver-based agency helping 350+ local businesses, from HVAC contractors and dental practices to law firms, med spas, and real estate professionals, get found, trusted, and booked. He went on to launch TopSpin Digital, a marketing division built exclusively for racquet sports coaches, clubs, and facilities, and BirdieEngine, an AI platform for golf teaching pros that automates bookings, payments, reminders, and marketing.

Evan's philosophy across every venture is the same: honest marketing, no overstated claims, just measurable systems that fuel your life instead of consuming it. Today, he shares what he's learned, helping businesses and audiences understand how to harness digital transformation without getting lost in the noise.
