James Brownstein & Chris Robichaud: The Influencers' Influencers | The Guys Behind Every Influencer You Follow


Join the Institute of Politics for a special lunchtime conversation with James Brownstein and Chris Robichaud, two leaders shaping the future of digital culture, brand strategy, and the creator economy.


Brownstein—founder of the influencer marketing firm Poster Child and a veteran of Twitter (now X), YouTube, and Fullscreen—brings deep insight into how creators and brands collaborate in an ever-evolving online ecosystem. Robichaud, a seasoned strategist and CEO of 93-North, has spent three decades guiding global brands through transformation, next-gen storytelling, and market shifts.


Together, they will explore how influence, strategy, and creativity intersect—and what today’s rapidly changing landscape means for emerging leaders and future changemakers.
