Gary Vaynerchuk is a serial entrepreneur and serves as the Chairman of VaynerX, the CEO of VaynerMedia, and the Creator & CEO of VeeFriends. Gary is considered one of the leading global minds on what's next in culture, business, and the internet.

Known as "GaryVee," he is described as one of the most forward thinkers in business. He acutely recognizes trends and patterns early to help others understand how shifts in consumer attention impact the realities of the business world today. Gary's approach sits at the intersection of business and pop culture. He keenly understands how to bring brand relevance to the forefront. He is a prolific angel investor with early investments in companies like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Venmo, Snapchat, Coinbase, and Uber.

This year, Gary unveiled his seventh book, "Day Trading Attention" where he provides fresh insights into navigating the modern social media landscape. Gary's expertise guides readers on harnessing underpriced attention channels in the digital age. He emphasizes mastering storytelling in these arenas and highlights the "TikTokification of Social Media," where content relevance surpasses follower counts. Businesses can leverage this shift to enhance their brand and boost sales. "Day Trading Attention" equips readers with essential skills to succeed in today's dynamic digital world. Gary also announced his first children's picture book, based on his VeeFriends characters, titled "Meet Me in the Middle” (set to be published on July 16, 2024). The picture book, which will prominently feature two VeeFriends characters, Eager Eagle and Patient Pig, delves into the emotional elements essential for nurturing children's empathy – a crucial skill for their future success.

Gary is an entrepreneur at heart – he builds businesses. Today, he helps Fortune 1000 brands leverage consumer attention through his full-service advertising agency, VaynerMedia, which has offices in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Mexico City, London, Amsterdam, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur. VaynerMedia is part of the VaynerX holding company, which also includes Eva Nosidam Productions, Gallery Media Group, The Sasha Group, VaynerSpeakers, VaynerCommerce, and Tingley Lane Trading. Gary is the Co-Founder of VaynerSports, VCR Group, VaynerWatt, ArtOfficial, Resy, and Empathy Wines. He guided Resy and Empathy to successful exits -- which he later sold to American Express and Constellation Brands, respectively. He also owns a Major League Pickleball team called the 5s, is part owner of a Big3 basketball team, and is an investor in the revival of the SlamBall League.

Gary is also the founder and creator of VeeCon – a contemporary super conference that converges business and pop culture with innovation and technology. In addition to running multiple businesses, Gary documents his daily life as a CEO through his social media channels, which have more than 44 million followers and garner over 300 million monthly impressions/views across all platforms. His podcast, "The GaryVee Audio Experience," ranks among the top podcasts globally.

Gary serves on the board of MikMak, Bojangles Restaurants, Global Citizen Forum, and Pencils of Promise. He is also a longtime Well Member of charity: water.

Gary's life ambition is to buy the New York Jets.

[JayFiCPA]

Yea dude no, if my feed is filled with AI bots throwing shit at me then idk time to quit the internet man

[akaisasori]

Normal influencers tend to not be real and lose themselves so it won't be any different than it is now. The human side that is. If we can input the human side of us into a virtual influencer, there won't have to bear the pressure. Just Integrate and evolve for God's sake.

[matthewstewart]

Thank god. Tired of these influencers thinking they are important people. It’s almost as bad as our politicians.

[JustinKhoe]

These aren't new. They're called cartoons

[ericzeitler]

AI may finally make social media a dead industry. We will all benefit from this.

[MarioBrosJediKnightXD]

Gary this is scary man...I don't want to interact with a virtual robot on social media, I want human connection. If I interact with a robot, it's got to be a companion like R2D2 or C3P0.

[jakubadamowicz]

Just attended NYC Tech Week and got insight to the upcoming technologies/innovations. I can attest that this is going to be true.

[Robnoxious]

what is actually going to happen, is we will collectively start re-evaluating what “value” really is, and what “work” means. We will divide as a species into those that are driven to create as much value as possible for the sake of it, and those who value each other over money itself. I know which camp i’ll be resting my head in.

[PinkFZeppelin]

As a salesman himself Gary should know the last jobs to be taken by AI will be sales. Jobs that require connection.

[davidhojnacki]

It’s gonna happen all over….influencers, commercials movies and probably only fans too gonna put a lot of people out of a job

[Jamesbonk]

Except is that as a human I want a genuine human to know about products and not some manipulated AI that lies for a company. I think that's what is going to happen

[TheJagpreetDhaliwal]

They’re still going to charge more, these businesses know what their platform is worth.

No way they’ll take $5 for a post

[georgekobty]

We already started, tiktok AI self allows me to post daily marketing without fear

[colesanders]

Gary is right about this just like he was with NFTs

[Charles-lfyp]

GaryVee has been right (and wrong) about so many things. He's got his finger in the wind with this one

[homegeographic]

the end uf useless influencers, but the beggining of fake reviews etc

[panmush]

This won’t be a reality.
The key values of influencer to the general public are their genuine personality and the human interaction.

That’s why today, a person would rather be sold to on TikTok than a billboard.

[jdcdrew]

Kindle and audible exist but people still buy books. Hugo Boss and Armani exist but the best suits are Taylor made. People still want Cuban cigars.

[KatoDeville]

Plenty of people are so afraid of AI, it’s gonna happen whether they want it to or not. It’s about making work for you instead of seeing it as an enemy
