Christian Brown

Today I was joined by Christian Brown, co-founder and CMO of Glewee. If Brown wasn’t a founder, I’d venture to say he’d be an oracle. Here’s my evidence: it’s the first day of freshman year for Brown at Danvers High and in Advertising 101 he predicted the growth of micro-influencers in the coming decade (more on that story in the podcast). As a junior, he started laying the foundations of Glewee as just an idea for a clothing company for a DECA project, he launched the company his senior year and kept it during college, eventually selling thousands of items and using the profits to fund his travels and influencer network. Suggestion here: DECA needs an incubator arm. Today, Glewee is a marketplace for brands to find small to medium sized influencers and create campaigns. The first guest that completed undergrad in Chicago (DePaul University) this podcast is also good for those thinking to further their education in Chicago.
