Creator Partnerships and Marketing
265,000 impressions in the last 30 days from an account with 2,600 followers. That gap is the entire pitch. My work reaches people who do not follow me, in the rooms where they decide what is worth their night.
Music. Media. Moments.
Case study 001
Life Time opened a new club beside my apartment. Nobody hired me, nobody briefed me, there was no contract. I made one video because I actually had something to say about the place.
It crossed 100,000 views off an account with 2,600 followers. Only 2,243 of the people who watched it were mine. That is the whole argument: this is not audience rental, it is reach into a cold room that a brand cannot buy from its own page.
Look at what the algorithm flagged. Skip rate lower than typical, share rate and save rate both higher. People watched it and then sent it to someone. That behavior is what a brand is actually paying for, and it is the number I put in front of you first.
Imagine what happens when it is on purpose.

"Time disappears when I'm playing live in front of a crowd."
So Scottsdale! ran a full page on the work in June 2026, framed around the thing I care about most: nightlife and brand strategy are the same job when the through line is storytelling.

Brands I have worked with
Cash partnerships only for placement. In-kind product is welcome for guest swag and giveaways, and it stays separate from fees. Two posts a month is my ceiling for any one brand, which is how the work keeps converting.
Where the work happens
Who is actually in the room
Creators, promoters, bottle service teams, venue owners, and local media. Mostly 21 to 34, mostly the people other people follow to decide where to go on a Saturday. When a brand shows up in that room correctly, it gets repeated by the people who set the taste, not just seen by the people who bought a ticket.
That is a different asset than a feed post. It is why I sell the night and the content together, and why the content is worth more when it comes from inside the night instead of from a studio.
The question every meeting asks
"He only has 2,600 followers."
A 100,000 view video off 2,600 followers means the distribution is coming from the algorithm, not the follower list. My reels run 7 to 30 times past my following and land on cold audiences in this market. A large local account with flat reach sells you the same people every time. I bring new ones.
And if a month goes by and you are not seeing it, do not renew. You keep every asset produced and you never have to hear from me again. That is a cheap way to find out.
What a partnership looks like
Two pieces a month, concepted and shot on location, with full usage rights and category exclusivity available. Sold by the month, never by the post. Insight screens returned every time, including the ones that underperform.
In-store, poolside, rooftop, or retail floor. The set draws the crowd, the crowd makes the footage, and the footage is the deliverable. One night produces a month of posts.
Posh Promotions runs The Green Room Scottsdale, a quarterly night for the local hospitality and creator community. Brand integration, giveaways, signage, and named presence in the room.

Credentials
EducationM.A. in Journalism, ASU's Walter Cronkite School, home to the top broadcast program in the country and its influencer program. My graduate work was built on the same curriculum Cronkite now teaches in its content creation programs, so I make branded content the way the school is currently training people to make it. B.A. in Journalism, University of Minnesota Duluth.
Ethical storytellingCronkite training starts with journalism ethics, and I have not left that behind for brand work. Partnerships get disclosed properly. Claims get verified before they get posted. Nothing goes out that a brand would have to quietly delete later.

Next step
A single post is variance, not evidence. One of mine crossed 100,000 views and the next one did not, and neither number would tell you what a partnership is worth. Content compounds. A month is the smallest block that produces anything you can actually read, and by month three you are looking at a trend instead of a coin flip.
Three to six months. Two pieces a month, shot on location, full licensing, category exclusivity available. A monthly report with every insight screen attached, including the ones that underperformed.
Same work, one month at a time, renewed only if you want it renewed. Month one buys the system, the first two pieces, and a real report. It is the smallest commitment I will take, because anything under it tells us both nothing.
