Special Skills & Expertise
Right Brain 🤝 Left Brain

ABOUT
ME
Former professional magician turned content leader. Good Morning America once called me the 'positive prankster.'
Hi, I'm Blake, a creative and content leader with 15+ years turning bold ideas into content that reaches billions.
I got my start as a professional magician at age 10 and was producing video professionally by high school. Before college I built a personal brand from the ground up, 800K+ YouTube subscribers and national media (Good Morning America called me the "positive prankster"), by blending storytelling, surprise, and heart.
Since then I've led creative and content at scale: heading ideation for MrBeast, growing brands and creators to millions of followers, and building the platform-native strategies, teams, and systems that turn creative ambition into audience growth, engagement, and business impact.
I lead multidisciplinary teams, design the operating systems that make great content repeatable, and balance breakthrough creative with data and business goals.
