Casey Neistat is a globally influential digital creator, filmmaker sensation, and serial entrepreneur who has fundamentally redefined brand content and digital storytelling on the internet. A self-taught filmmaker who got his start as a dishwasher, he leveraged his unique creative vision to pioneer the ‘daily vlog’ format on YouTube, amassing over 14 million subscribers and parlaying his success into successful ventures in tech and advertising.
Neistat's entrepreneurial success is marked by his ability to merge creativity with commercial acumen. He co-founded the video-sharing app Beme, which was acquired by CNN for $25 million in 2016. He later pivoted to launch 368, a creative hub and studio designed to foster collaboration. His early filmmaking work, including the HBO series The Neistat Brothers and the indie film Daddy Longlegs, established his voice, which has since been leveraged by major brands, including J. Crew, Mercedes-Benz, and Nike.
Recognized by Fortune as one of the “Creator 25,” Neistat’s influence extends into new technological frontiers. He is a passionate Crypto Economy Advocate, an investor in the bitcoin-rewards startup Lolli, and an advisor for Ponto, which provides financial infrastructure for Web3. His recent ventures, coupled with his filmmaking masterclass for Monthly and his critically acclaimed documentary Under the Influence, reflect his ongoing commitment to innovation and education in the creative economy.
As a dynamic keynote speaker, Neistat delivers presentations that are as engaging and humorous as they are informative. His talks provide individuals and organizations with actionable lessons on innovation and creativity, showing them how to redefine their potential through unconventional choices. He offers salient analysis and cutting-edge insight into how to level-up an organization’s brand and content strategy for success in the ever-evolving digital and Web3 space.
