Awesomeness Signs Kingsley, Mia Stammer, The Funk Bros, And More

Gen Z-centric digital network Awesomeness is kicking off 2018 with a slew of new signings. The company will now represent comedy creator Kingsley, fashion and beauty vlogger Mia Stammer, and The Funk Bros — comprising pro scooter riders and YouTube daredevils Corey and Capron Funk.

Kingsley, 27, known for his comical rants and biting pop culture commentary, counts roughly 3 million subscribers. He formerly hosted a Defy Media-produced talk show called Drama King, as well as a podcast called Overexposed. Twenty three-year-old Stammer, meanwhile, who hails from Japan, counts more than 5 million subscribers across two channels and has partnered with the likes of Hollister and Crest, while The Funk Bros have amassed more than 3.8 million subscribers in just two years.

At the same time, Awesomeness tells Tubefilter

that it has inked deals with lifestyle vloggers Kellie Sweet and Hailey Sani, the rapper Baby Kaely, and comedy creator Andrew Lowe. Awesomeness’ creator network currently comprises thousands of stars, for which it provides audience growth tools, content production and strategy, brand-building, monetization help, and also encourages collaborations within its roster.
