Gary Vaynerchuk
An entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author and global internet personality, Gary Vaynerchuk is best known for launching the digital marketing brand VaynerX. The communications brand works alongside some of the biggest media and technology companies on the planet and has seen Gary become one of the industry’s most respected forward thinkers. From living in a cramped apartment in New York, he transformed these humble beginnings into a multi-million dollar portfolio and can be found working as one of the most inspirational business speakers on the circuit today. His fascinating life story combined with his awe-inspiring entrepreneurial lessons, make him a hit every time.
Born in Belarus and moving to the USA aged just three years old, Gary’s talent for business was clear from an early age. Whether it was setting up a lemonade stand aged seven or trading baseball cards as a 14-year-old, it was obvious he was destined for big things. In 1998, he was handed the reigns of the family business – his father’s alcohol shop Shopper’s Discount Liquors.
Always ahead of the curve, Gary noticed the huge potential the emergence of the internet could have on the business. With this in mind, he changed the brand name to the Wine Library and in 2006 launched Wine Library TV – a daily YouTube webcast covering wine in the store. By the time he left the company, it was worth $60 million. As well as this, he was an angel investor in the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Uber before they hit the heights of today. Regarded as one of the most exciting business speakers around, the high energy he brings to every event he attends sees him inspire audiences with his stories of how he transformed his fortunes and became one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the 21st century.
Realising how Google Ads, eCommerce, email marketing and content could exponentially grow a business in the digital world, he founded New York-based communications company VaynerX. Helping businesses grow online, it was a huge success and has subsequently sparked subsidiary brands VaynerMedia and Gallery Media Group. Currently, the Vayner brands are worth over $100 million and have helped some of the world’s largest Fortune 500 companies with digital and social media strategies. When booked as a top-class business speaker, Gary can bring some tips and strategies to your audiences, helping them to grow and thrive in the digital world.
In recent years, Gary has become something of a social media influencer and popular TV personality. This started in 2017 when he was a participant on Planet of the Apps. On the reality show, Gary appeared alongside will.i.am and Gwyneth Paltrow. He evaluated pitchers from digital entrepreneurs looking for investments. He also has his own YouTube channel and podcast where he documents his life as well as continues to share his passion for wine. And, he’s released a number of best-selling books discussing the world of digital business and his own life story.
Plus, he’s established himself as one of the sector’s leading business speakers appearing at prestigious events like Internet Week and New Media Expo.
