The business world is the biggest source of living in the world today. Nowadays, almost every single thing can be looked upon from a business perspective. Even the simplest and the most basic aspects of our lives are still being looked upon from a business perspective. Aspects such as health, education, our social lives, food security, water, and so many other aspects of our lives can be simplified down into a business perspective.
Having a business-like mind is one of the biggest ways to achieve financial success in the present world. For the reasons that I have stated, many people have taken it upon themselves to focus their minds on one of the most important aspects of our lives and build a business empire out of it.
A very good example of such people is Gary Vaynerchuk and AJ Vaynerchuk. These two brothers are the founders of Vaynermedia, a social media-focused digital agency. These two entrepreneurs founded this company to provide social media and strategy services to Fortune500 companies such as General Electric, Anheuser-Busch, Mondelez International, and other companies.
The company is quite successful and is very good at what it does. The idea that the Vaynerchuk brothers came up with was quite complicated, but they made it work, and they are still making it work. The company now has a wide base of employees and has expanded into a very big company, with a lot of success.
Inception
Vaynermedia was founded in 2009 by AJ Vaynerchuk and Gary Vaynerchuk. The company was created to be a social media-focused digital agency that provides social media and strategy services to companies in the Fortune 500. The company serves some of the biggest companies in the world, such as Anheuser-Busch, General Electric, Mondelez International, Pepsi Co, and so many others.
The company also partnered with Vimeo to connect brands and filmmakers for digital content. Of the two brothers, Gary Vaynerchuk is the most actively involved brother in the management of the company. His entrepreneurship journey began with alcohol because his family owned a wine shop. Vaynerchuk dreamed of owning the biggest winery in the world, but with the emergence of the internet, he realized that creating an online wine store was just good enough for him.
Vaynerchuk created WineLibrary.com, which elevated its $3 million dollar business to a $60 million dollar business. Vaynerchuk did not just stop there, and he extended the brand by starting “Wine Library TV” in 2006, a daily webcast that discussed wine. The program became very popular and used social platforms such as Twitter to promote it.
Vaynerchuk gained fame over time through his social media and began writing books about business. Representatives from various brands asked him for advice, and just like the businessman that he is, he decided to take advantage of it by building Vaynermedia. Many people trusted their companies with him because of how good he was at handling social media issues. The company grew very fast and had been turning heads ever since. The main goal of starting the company was to create the strongest marketing machine of all time, a target that he is about to achieve.
Evolution
Vaynermedia is one of the largest companies when it comes to providing useful strategies for sustaining large companies, especially on their social media platforms. The company prides itself on building some of the biggest companies in the world. The company has grown so big to the point that Vaynerchuk left his duties at “Wine Library TV” to focus fully on Vaynermedia.
Vaynermedia has a mass-market business model, with no differentiation between business segments. Vaynermedia’s main mission is to help brands to best leverage social media platforms to build communities that support their marketing endeavors.
