Led the native advertising strategy

Developed and sold content for marquee, luxury advertisers including Porsche, Glenlivet, Cartier, and Ralph Lauren.

Over 500,000 subscribers and $5M in revenue within three years

We designed and developed InsideHook to be a newsletter-first city guide for adventurous and discerning men who have a thirst for experiences. In the first three years of operation, we launched five newsletter editions, booked some of the world's most coveted advertising brands (Porsche, Cartier, Jaguar), and partnered with globally recognized influencers like Robe Lowe and Tim Ferriss.
