Additionally, Studio71 announced that it has signed YouTube lifestyle vlogger Tina Yong, tech review channel TechSmartt, reaction video hub Reaction Time, and sketch parody channel Miles Jai Productions.

Yong is a Sydney-based makeup artist and foodie, while Jai also posts improv sketches, vlogs, and beauty tutorials.“This is a group of young, talented, multi-cultural influencers who are creating content that millennial and Gen Z audiences crave,” said Studio71 president Dan Weinstein in a statement. “We’re excited to be working with these creators as we continue to develop new series, brand deals, and partnerships in the music, lifestyle, beauty, and tech verticals, which are continuing to trend upward across the social platforms where these influencers and their fans live.”
Current YouTubers signed to Studio71 include Lilly ‘Superwoman’ Singh, Rhett & Link, Logan Paul, Flula Borg, Epic Meal Time, and Roman Atwood. The network also represents the digital ventures of traditional celebrities like Shay Mitchell and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
