Speaking
For over a decade I have built brands, campaigns, and audiences where technology, media, and culture meet: creator campaigns for Skydance, a creator network reaching over one billion monthly impressions, a sold out 6,000 seat festival, and collaborations with NBC Universal, Disney, BMW, and Microsoft. On stage I turn that operator experience into lessons your audience can use the next day. From placing talent in Boston to building in Los Angeles, I have lived every step I talk about.


Topics
- The state of the creator economy: where the money is and where it goes next
- How brands should actually work with creators
- How to build a network with no contacts and no budget
- The convergence of entertainment and technology
- Live events in a social first world
- Overcoming adversity: building from $500 and three months of rent

What People Say
“I watched Ashwin speak at a Build Your Empire event in Arizona back in early 2019. I hadn’t heard of him until this point. I was intrigued by his story and quite honestly his profession. I always felt there was a certain stigma around the Hollywood scene and here was a guy who broke all of the typical stereotypes. Ashwin is raw, genuine, and authentic to his nature!”
Jordin Roussell, Real Estate Entrepreneur
“Before I met Ashwin, I thought sales, marketing, and networking, was just hey this is me, give a card, and let me know if I can help you out. He directly impacted my life the second I started talking to him. I had never realized the importance of being present, authentic, and centered in each conversation. Then you couple that with this willingness to help without any expectation in return, its a game changer! All of my relationships and depth of business have gone through the roof. I owe you a big thank you for that.”
Rocco Campagna, Digital Agency Owner
“Ashwin is very well connected. Easy to work with. He will deliver if he said he will. Ashwin’s network is wide. He is well connected and respected. His clients always seem to be happy with him, which is not the case for many people in the industry.”
Andrew Andrawes, Serial Entrepreneur and Talent Manager
