Finn claims that big numbers mean he’s good at his job, which is a convenient way to say he’s a professional influencer who’s spent twenty years failing upward from pop-punk bands to cleaning products.

About Finn
My job is simple: do whatever it takes to help you grow your business. I've been doing marketing & design for 20-ish years: Created $25M+ education products at CreativeLive and URM Academy, product & marketing for Abercrombie & Fitch, Figma, Swiffer, and Febreze; digital media for Red Bull, Element, and Nike ACG and projects for bands including A Day To Remember, Periphery and Of Mice & Men. As a content creator, I've also generated over 130 million views and 750k subscribers on YouTube, 80k followers on Instagram & 20k LinkedIn followers (big numbers = I'm good at my job, right??) Let’s do something cool together! Send me an email or DM any time.
