Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• How to Grow a Your Brand on Social Media in 2027

  In the publisher’s account of his conversation with the founders of fashion label Nude Project, Vaynerchuk raises their concern about overexposure alongside live shopping and discoverability. Seeing the same campaign repeatedly inside the company can make a collection feel familiar before a prospective customer even knows it exists.

• The #1 Secret to B2B Growth on LinkedIn

  With Poppi co-founder Allison Ellsworth, Vaynerchuk questions the use of a post’s potential audience as a result. He pairs distribution on LinkedIn and TikTok with the work of replying to comments. A reply can reveal who saw the post and why it interested them, two things a follower total cannot tell an editor.

• The Most Expensive 30 Seconds in Advertising

  At his Super Bowl roundtable with Jim Stengel and brand leaders, Vaynerchuk describes the event as a day to produce material. A participant trying a product, a creator explaining it and a broadcast spot serve different purposes. Planning those encounters ahead of time helps a team leave with something more specific than a highlight reel.
