The Prsuit Pivot

In February 2014, he started Prsuit.com as a blog with an open contribution system for curated and original content written by him and 500 plus other contributors that included reputed bloggers like Mark Mason, Gary Vaynerchuk and James Altucher. The content was upbeat and motivational and in general made millennials see the best this generation has to give.

However, he soon realised that the fortunes of his blog depended heavily on volatile search parameter algorithms of Google and Facebook. After much contemplation, in 2017, he finally decided to move Prsuit’s business model from website content to a daily email newsletter format. The pivot was more a studied move than an instinctive one.

He investigated media companies like The Skimm, New York Times and The Hustle that cater to large audiences and found them all leveraging the email platform to their benefit. He decided to follow the same path and in one year, Prsuit’s email newsletter model reached such an extent that it was bringing in revenues more than that of the previous three years combined.

Balancing Day Job & Entrepreneurial Success

Case Kenny calls himself a realist in that he is quite happy doing his regular 9 to 5 job that pays for his lifestyle and the remaining time in the day, he divides it between entrepreneurial projects, gym, house chores and Chicago nightlife. He is currently the Sales Director at Amobee, a company specializing in mobile advertising technology.

Working the regular 9 to 5 grind, he still found time to make Prsuit an email subscription success story that today, boasts of nearly 700,000 page-views per month with monetary value for him and motivational value for his reader base.

While working full-time, he and Matt Gotesmann co-created a digital first publishing platform, Trep Media Group that owns and operates a range of social properties like online publications and podcasts and distributes content through these channels to driven millennials in the age group of 21-37 years.

HDF Magazine is a Trep Media brand which documents the ‘hustle’ of global entrepreneurs on the rise, through in-depth interviews. Its Instagram account ‘@hdfmagazine’ features memorable quotes straight from the site’s interviews as well as those of Matt Gotesmann himself.

Additionally, his webinar, ‘Accelerate Your Brand’ provides entrepreneurial tips to interested viewers.

Success With Podcasts

‘The Hustle Sold Separately’ is Trep Media Group’s weekly podcast where Matt Gotesmann and Case Kenny interview upcoming global content creators and online entrepreneurs. It ranks top of charts for podcasts in multiple countries around Europe and North America.

‘The New Mindset, Who Dis’ is his personal podcast started in June 2018 where he shares his ideas, struggles and perspectives in a manner that is transparent, fluff free and relevant. Resonating with millennials, it ranks among the top 50 US podcasts consistently.
