How a 60–day media campaign turned a digital entrepreneur with millions of followers into a press-validated public figure — featured in Forbes, GQ, Rolling Stone and beyond.
Despite millions of followers and a diverse portfolio as a filmmaker, podcaster and keynote speaker, Max faced a distinctly modern problem: no third-party media validation. A Google search for his name returned almost nothing from authoritative news sources.
For a world traveler and social activist pursuing high-level keynote opportunities and partnerships, social numbers aren't enough — investors and event organizers look for Forbes and GQ validation. Max needed to be recognized as a credible authority across Business, Tech and Lifestyle to match his entrepreneurial success.
Leveraging our 1,200+ media connections, we designed a rapid-exposure campaign in three phases.
High-volume placements in news outlets to dominate search engine results for his name.
Blue-chip features in world-renowned business magazines — Forbes and Entrepreneur.
Aligning his filmmaking and activism with placements in Rolling Stone and GQ.
Within eight weeks, we secured guaranteed placements across a diverse spectrum of high-DR outlets.
