VaynerMedia Taps Tumblr Exec Amid Plans to Grow but Not Sell
Posted in: Uncategorized
VaynerMedia has hired Tumblr Agency Development Lead Ari Levine to run new business as the 400-person digital shop maps out plans to grow.
“The agency is quite large, but it doesn’t have a [structured] new business department,” said VaynerMedia CEO Gary Vaynerchuk, agency co-founder and entrepreneur. “We had no lead. This is the first sign of us being on the offense on new business.”
It’s part of a larger plan, also including the recent investment in a more robust HR team, to quickly grow from 400 to 1,000 employees, and then perhaps add another few thousand. Unlike plenty of shops on the make, however, Mr. Vaynerchuk said the agency is not building toward a sale.
