Manager of The Sidemen Jordan Schwarzenberger On The Future Of Modern Media
Q: How should someone launching a men's skincare brand approach audience growth and channel strategy?
Focus on building an authentic brand narrative, engage through both owned content and discovery platforms, prioritize organic growth and community building, and use platforms like TikTok Shop to shorten the path from content to purchase while maintaining strong content-driven storytelling.
Manager of The Sidemen Jordan Schwarzenberger On The Future Of Modern Media
Q: What are the biggest mistakes you've learned from in building multi-venture creator businesses?
Spreading too thin across too many ventures, entering partnerships without clear exit paths, and underestimating the execution risk of physical products while overvaluing the hype of big audiences.
Manager of The Sidemen Jordan Schwarzenberger On The Future Of Modern Media
Q: What was the turning point that pushed you to reframe the Sidemen as a publisher rather than just a creator group?
Seeing the potential to leverage the Sidemen's reach as a publisher, with a portfolio of IP-driven opportunities, and recognizing that brands needed a holistic, scalable way to work with creator assets beyond simple sponsorships.
