Episode 46: Jared Kleinstein of Streeteasy 1.0, How It All Started, The Beginnings, Up to The Acquisition

Pleased to have my friend & Ex-industry colleague Jared Kleinstein on the pod.  Jared is the Founder & CEO of Denver-based agency Fresh Tape Media, a Denver Based creative agency that makes videos, photos, & experiences for brands, sports properties, and media companies.  His team runs a network of over 150+ of the top creators: shooters, editors, designers, writers, & social media influencers to help create media for his clients, some of them includes the Washington Capitals, Denver Broncos, NASCAR, Formula 1, the Arizona Cardinals, the CO Rockies, NFL, NBA, NCAA Basketball, MLB, Facebook & Twitter, just to name a few.   Fresh Tape has done videos on Zion Williamson when he entered the NBA draft,  took on the NCAA College football playoffs content during Media Day and Game Day, providing their social media platform with unique content to post during the finals to drive social conversation, produced the MLB 1 on 1 series with the Mariners Dee Gordon & Nelson Cruz where they vlog behind the scenes in the locker room and produced content for the CAPS as Ovechkin became the 8th player in NHL history to record 700 career goals.  

 

So WHY on earth would Jared come on my real estate podcast?  I’d say the answer is two folds:  1st, Jared was one of the original members of Streeteaasy, where he spent more than 7 years with the founding team to help build out the aggregator BEFORE Zillow purchased them for $50M back in 2013.  2nd: His knowledge of video content creation & social media is more important than ever for all small & large businesses, including real estate.  We’ll delve more into that later.  

 

A few more fun facts about Jared: 

• Worked as the head of sports & International content strategy at Twitter 
• Was the Founder & CEO of Tebowing.com which was the worlds largest database for tebowing photos 
• He was a Vail ski instructor for 7 years
