A little bit about Dustin

I love doing deep-dives on business brands and impactful founders.

I start companies: I turned $5K into $5M in under 5yrs in my first. 3 started. All 3 still going.

I tell stories for brands that face hurdles telling their own: I’ve worked with unicorns in online gaming and online sportsbooks. I’ve also helped shepard the legal cannabis industry from mom’s basement to the mainstream while doing my best Don Draper impression (minus the cigarettes).

I’ve got an Emmy and 7 Clios that collectively tell the story that I run the most award-winning and decorated creative emerging-market-focused agency in the world.

If I could be known for only one thing, it’d be for being an original thinker

I'm just getting started.

Safety is dangerous.

Taking risks will change your life.

- Dustin Iannotti
