🔥 The Creator’s Journey: A Fireside Chat with Two of NYC's Most Iconic Creators
Join us for an exclusive Creator Fireside Chat, an intimate conversation spotlighting two digital creators and the journey behind their brand, business, and community.
From humble beginnings on social to building a personal brand that attracts global partnerships, this conversation will unpack how creators develop content strategies, navigate brand collaborations, and stay ahead of digital trends. Whether you're a marketer, creator, or strategist, this session will provide raw insight into the creator economy from someone who's actively shaping it.
Our Speakers:
Andreas Verrios, known as Mr. NYC Subway, is a New York City photographer renowned for transforming everyday subway riders into striking portrait subjects. This unique approach has earned him over 2 million followers on TikTok and led to viral subway photo shoots with stars like Drew Barrymore and Ed Sheeran. Building on his social media success, Verrios launched a fine art collection of limited-edition prints, with pieces selling for upwards of $10,000.
Aris Yaeger, known online as The European Kid, skyrocketed to fame with satirical videos parodying a spoiled ultra-wealthy European persona named “Louis.” His outrageous skits have amassed about 1.7 million followers on TikTok and 1.2 million on Instagram, landing him features in major media outlets like Business Insider and The NY Times. Aris has collaborated with high-profile creators (and even pranked Hollywood stars), and he co-founded Storytime, an influencer platform connecting social media creators with local small businesses.
