Zagarino collaborated with Speakr, a company that utilizes a special algorithm to pair up influencers with brands for ad campaigns. He has promoted fashion brands, such as Aeropostale and Old Navy, believing that it would draw the attention of his young audience. He has also been involved in ad campaigns for a fitness app and numerous other fashion products that he had found to be interesting. Furthermore, during this period, he teamed up with AwesomenessTV, which is a digital video network presently owned by Viacom, to accumulate more subscribers on his YouTube channel.

In a 2015 interview with Macworld, Santillo had revealed that Zagarino was planning to cut down on branded social media posts and focus more on developing his YouTube channel and do more fashion editorial work. Despite this, he has not been active on YouTube for over two years and his fashion blogging website seems to have been deactivated.
