Viral Nation, a leading social media marketing transformation, talent and technology company, announced the launch of Viral Nation Ventures, a new division of the company focused exclusively on co-developing creator-branded products to help content creators continue to thrive in the $250 billion creator economy by expanding their brands beyond their digital presence. The launch of Viral Nation Ventures is accompanied by the introduction of three exciting and unique talent ventures with Yuri Lamasbella, Blonde Brewer and The Salad Lab.
“Viral Nation Ventures marks a significant new era for creators—one in which they’re not only crafting content but building empires,” said Jonathan Chanti, president, Viral Nation_Talent. “As an end-to-end service, Viral Nation Ventures is a testament to our commitment to empowering creators to shape their legacies well beyond the digital realm.”
Unlike more traditional ventures, Viral Nation Ventures is a complete, end-to-end service that goes beyond commonplace merchandise, working closely with creators to offer a range of products that spans everything from affordable general merchandise to high-end, one-of-a-kind items. The emphasis is on ensuring that the products align with creators’ brands while also catering to the diverse financial capacities of their fanbases.
“Joining forces with Viral Nation Ventures is allowing me to expand my personal brand from content creator and brand ambassador to full-time entrepreneur,” said Yuri Lamasbella. “My fans have always trusted me to support brands and initiatives I believe in. There’s no one I believe in more than myself and that’s why it makes sense for me to blend my passion for fashion and humor into quality apparel. I can’t wait to share this new adventure with my fans.”
