Hey, I'm Trevor!

Executive Vice President of VaynerMissions in 2022 and beyond
Visionary for what Storygiving will look like by 2030
I want to partner and work with VaynerX. Now I realize that thousands of other very talented people want to work for, with or partner with Gary as well, so to show everyone at Vayner the kind of value I'd bring to the entire company, I decided to be proactive and I created VaynerMissions, which doesn't even exist yet. But it will because it's what Vayner employees care about and want. I believe it's where Gary, Claude, Andrea and other Vayner business leaders should focus SOME of their attention to next, because 10 years from now, the more audacious vision of Storygiving will be the new normal in society.
Check out my vision of VaynerMissions below and get in touch with me when you're done!

What's Missing?
VaynerMissions is missing from VaynerX's portfolio
And Storygiving is missing from the companies we all work at in society. Check out what Storygiving is and why 'It's Worth Supporting' in this memorable video 🥊
Why This Matters
Because Vayner employees are...
Storytelling
Mission-oriented
Legacy leaving
Purpose-driven
people ❤️
Employees everywhere want this. Employees everywhere care about this. And employees everywhere are Worth Supporting ❤️
With Gary, Andrea and Claude's leadership, VaynerX is the single best company to 'find right' with VaynerMissions so we can 'scale the unscalable' to companies and business leaders everywhere
Where To Start
Think Facebook birthday fundraisers, but at VaynerX and on your Vaynerversary instead
Then approve a list of charities for Vayner employees to support ❤️
Finally, approve a dollar 💵 amount so each employee can choose a charity for their VaynerMission and so they can support other colleagues and their VaynerMissions too
Remember...
In advance of creating this website, I also thought I'd be proactive and showcase the Team GaryVee Case Study and VaynerMissions Pilot I put together to better visualize the vision of VaynerMissions
Can VaynerX Start VaynerMissions Today?
Challenges
Opportunities
VaynerX already gives back to different charities through traditional corporate philanthropy means and initiatives
Reallocation of a % of those traditional corporate philanthropy dollars may be difficult based upon 2021 budgeting and commitments
VaynerX has TONS of projects they're constantly working on and in their pipeline
First company to empower employees to share their missions through storygiving by leaving a legacy for important causes in their communities
401K For The Soul will eventually become it's own storygiving platform at companies everywhere; adding to traditional charity matching programs
VaynerX employees want to storygive in this brand new way (just like Zain's example below!)
Companies Win When...
Companies Loose When...
Conclusion
they put their employees first, when employees are happy and love their job, when employees are recognized, valued and cared for, when employees feel more connected to their colleagues, when employees get to share their stories and passions in their lives, when employees voices are heard, when business leaders make room at the table for all employees, when companies put people over profits, and when companies and business leaders include their employees to make a difference in their communities by giving back to causes that are important to them
they don't care about their employees, employees complain and are unhappy, when employees don't get recognition, don't feel valued or cared for, when employees don't feel connected to their colleagues, when employees don't get to share what they're passionate about, when employees aren't allowed to speak up, when business leaders don't make room at the table for everyone, when companies put profits before people, and when companies and business leaders don't include their employees to make a difference in their communities by giving back to causes that are important to them
VaynerMissions isn't just good for VaynerX, it's good for the 'entire game of business.'
I've tested my hypothesis for VaynerMissions, and Storygive Missions, by asking a few questions below and they were all answered with yes. I truly believe that when VaynerMissions is successful in 2021 and beyond, that other companies and business leaders everywhere will want to follow Gary and VaynerMedia's lead. VaynerMissions will make the 'entire game of business better' simply by empowering Vayner employees to leave legacies at their jobs while they're at VaynerX through Storygiving and supporting each others missions. This is the future of 'corporate charity matching programs'
Consistent Partnership Opportunities
By supporting employees, companies will be able to leverage them and their missions and create their Storygiving Portfolios just like the example with VaynerMedia below!
To see which employees from Team GaryVee supported each charity below, you can read more details from the VaynerMissions Pilot I ran to simulate this so it's easy to visualize 😃
And charities will be able to do the same and get a deeper understanding of which companies, and how many of their employees, support their missions in a brand new way!
So that means, after VaynerMedia supports and empowers VaynerMedia employees to share their VaynerMissions, VaynerMedia will help create the new model and universal platform for how business leaders and corporations everywhere will give back to worthy charities through Storygiving by supporting their employees in the future ❤️
Get the point? 😉
Eventually every startup, business and corporation will follow Gary, VaynerMedia and VaynerMissions lead because its what people want
Marketing For The Now
On February 25th, 2021 Gary asked 12 different business leaders the same question, "Where are you trying to innovate in 2021?" Here were their answers, testimonials and excerpts from their conversation with Gary, but with one caveat; it focuses on the vision of VaynerMissions ❤️🥊
The future conversations we're going to have around VaynerMissions and Storygive Missions with business leaders and employees really excites me!
Why Did I Do This?
I fell in love with what Gary represents and how he approaches life back in 2014 and I've been hooked ever since. I love how Gary supports Charity Water and Pencils of Promise, two charities that are very close to my heart. And in 2018 I had the chance to meet Gary at a private dinner and at the time I even asked him for a job at VaynerMedia. Now I'm officially ready. I'm looking to make a difference in peoples lives by providing value to Gary and his employees at VaynerMedia with VaynerMissions and then eventually employees everywhere with Storygiving. I'm determined to find a way to leave a legacy and help contribute to a better future ❤️
Why I Love VaynerMedia
I believe in Gary's vision of how you should live your one life, his mission to redefine what success looks like through happiness and the values that he promotes at VaynerMedia
I love how storytelling and everyone's immediate access to the internet on all of our smartphones has built bridges across cultures and society and I'm excited for what's next
Working with Gary to build VaynerMissions for VaynerMedia employees, before it becomes the new normal in society, provides the opportunity to leave a legacy and make a difference
Internally, VaynerMedia has caring, committed, mission-oriented, purpose-driven and legacy leaving employees that love to share their stories with their friends and the world
Why I Belong At VaynerX
This website, VaynerMissions website, VaynerMissions Instagram, VaynerMissions Twitter, VaynerMissions YouTube & VaynerMissions Medium are my resumes to partner with or work at VaynerX. I respect the internet's impact on storytelling and society
VaynerMissions and the larger vision of Storygive Missions is consumer-centric at its core and decentralizes traditional corporate philanthropy by empowering every employee to create part of their very own legacy, their 401K For Their Soul
Storygiving will be the evolution of storytelling very specific 'giving related stories' about charities and causes that people support throughout their careers and lives, the impact they're making for these important causes and the legacy they'll leave one day
VaynerMissions core value is partnering with and empowering every single employee at VaynerX to share their mission and story for a cause that they're passionate about supporting and giving back to while they're employed at VaynerX
Right now companies and charities don't care enough about their biggest assets, their employees and their donors, and what they want. The 401K For Your Soul is a consumer up idea giving people what they want - a voice, an opportunity to leave a legacy & to make an impact in the workplace
Corporate Matching Programs are uninspiring, have incredibly low engagement amongst employees and aren't universal platforms or programs for people throughout their lives. Storygiving and the 401K For Your Soul is the opposite to everything mentioned above
Employees have been signaling for a while that having 90% of corporate philanthropy dollars being decided by less then 1% of employees at those companies is wrong & unfair. Storygiving will change that through empowering employees to create their 401K For Their Soul
Business results improve when employees are happier, recognized, feel valued, appreciated, cared for and included with important decisions. Businesses that empower employees to storygive their missions for important causes will win over the next generation and beyond
Contextual relevance gives meaning to people through stories, information and data. Every employee at every company has causes they're passionate about. Every employee at every company has colleagues they'd like to support too. VaynerMissions combines the two and it's what employees want
'Finding right' stems from being curious about what people want and it's at the core of the '401K For Your Soul'. Employees everywhere, not just at VaynerMedia, want legacy, meaning, purpose, fulfillment and happiness in their lives. Creating your social giving legacy for causes you support throughout your life and career is a part of that
It's not only the responsibility of business leaders and employees to deliver business results, but it's the responsibility of business leaders to create an environment where employees can deliver business results. Empowering Vayner employees to share their VaynerMissions helps create that environment
I've spent over 10,000 hours over the last 4 years playing in the dirt and becoming an expert as a practitioner for what's missing at the companies we all work at. And what's missing at VaynerMedia is VaynerMissions and what's missing at companies everywhere is offering the 401K For Your Soul to its employees. They want it
VaynerMissions will scale the unscalable because VaynerMissions will make the 'entire game of business' better simply by empowering employees to leave legacies at their jobs while they're at VaynerMedia through storygiving and supporting each others missions. This is the future of 'corporate matching programs'
Eventually every startup, business and corporation will follow Gary, VaynerMedia and VaynerMissions lead because its what people want
Where I'll Belong
I'm committed to making VaynerMissions the biggest Vayner of them all
