a Cancer Sun with a Pisces Moon and Cancer Rising. This means relationships, emotional bonds, and a sense of psychic safety are not just important—they’re everything.

Brian Swichkow is an #entrepreneur, #marketer, #writer, and #artist.

Swichkow is a 'Physical Twin' at BrianBot, 'Little Bro' at Spiritual Bro, 'Managing Partner' at One Studio, 'Manifestor' at Mythos One, and Founding Citizen of One Inc Cooperative.

Swichkow first became known as a #growth-hacker in 2014 when he blogged about pranking his roommate with targeted Facebook ads and, once submitted to Reddit’s /r/marketing, saw the story go viral; receiving 450,000 views within 72-hours and 38,000 backlinks within 30 days. His article, called the 'Facebook Ads Prank', was written about in AdWeek, Forbes, Observer, etc.

Subsequently, Swichkow founded Ghost Influence; a Reddit-first marketing agency, educational community, and startup incubator. He is known as a Reddit Marketingexpert; a practice he sees as Authentic Contribution and a means to demonstrate the character of a brand through play.
