GARY VAYNERCHUK TALKS MEDIA AGENCIES, REBATES & ENGLISH FOOTBALL: #MediaSnack Ep. 17

On this week’s #MediaSnack we have a special guest, Gary Vaynerchuk, founder of VaynerMedia who drops in for a chat with ID Comms co-founder Tom Denford whilst he’s here ahead of the agency’s London launch and he’s also promoting his new book #AskGaryVee. Gary wears many hats, as an entrepreneur, writer, speaker, agency principal and digital and social marketing thought leader. He is the presenter of the weekly #AskGaryVee show on YouTube and star of his new daily video show #DailyVee which follows and documents his life as a full-throttle entrepreneur, tech-investor, speaker and social media influencer. Following on from last week’s episode when we discussed a meeting Tom had in New York with the VaynerMedia team, Tom asks Gary about the idea behind his fast growing media agency business, whether they see themselves as disruptors and why they are launching in London as their first international office outside US. Typically Gary doesn’t pull any punches, when asked about the ANA’s media rebate investigation in the US, Gary is forthright both about the existence of incentives paid to US media buyers and also VaynerMedia’s clear policy on accepting or offering incentives. Finally, its well known Gary is a huge NY Jets fan, often stating that the ultimate goal behind his rapid empire building is the wish to one day buy the Jets franchise. In #MediaSnack Episode 8 The SuperBowl special, David and Tom made some rather poor predictions on American Football. We take the opportunity to put Gary on the spot and make some predictions for English football. This weekend sees a schedule of European international friendlies, watch Episode 17 to see Gary Vaynerchuk’s score predictions for the big games; Germany v England and Armenia v Belarus...
