David Grutman built an empire in nightlife, but not because he had the biggest clubs or the most famous friends.

He plays the long game, adds value before asking for anything, and invests in relationships long before opportunities appear.

Inside @TheLondonWeHo, there’s more than just luxury suites and rooftop views. From a hidden screening room for private events to one of the deepest pools in West Hollywood, the hotel is full of unexpected gems.

Which hidden spot would you want to experience first?

Building @loop__mag taught me that creating content isn't the hard part getting people to care is.

In 2026, media isn't a content game; it's a trust and community game.

The biggest value isn't always advertising.

Sometimes it's access.

And sometimes it's distribution.

Nightlife is dying. No not really. But it’s changing. the future isn't VIP. It's connection.

[Charles Ewudo @charlesewudo]

In nightlife, creating memorable experiences is your greatest asset. Focus on ambiance, service, and innovation to stand out.

In recent years, a significant cultural shift has emerged as Gen-Z consumers, who are now ages 12-27, embrace health-conscious and mindful lifestyles.

Innovation isn’t just about new ideas; it’s about transforming the way we think and solve problems.

Going all in on video content means having your marketing team make you rehearse scripts all day - can I put TV personality on my resume? 😂

From “Instagrammable” aesthetics to exclusive pop-ups, nightlife offers the ultimate backdrop for immersive brand storytelling.

Embracing this space allows brands to engage influencers authentically, reaching Gen Z where they’re most inspired.

[Charles Ewudo @charlesewudo]

For brands looking to capture Gen Z's attention, nightlife is more than just an after-hours escape—it’s a vibrant stage for creativity and connection.

[Charles Ewudo @charlesewudo]

Gen Z’s love for authentic, experiential content is met perfectly in the nightlife scene, where influencers can naturally blend brand moments with shareable experiences.

What does it take to recruit and retain top talent for your events in a rapidly changing environment?

As Gen Zers are rethinking how they work and with the rise of the gig economy, nightlife and hospitality leaders need to adopt a different approach in their people operations strategy.

Joining us to talk about her story and building @thevipergirls a leading hospitality agency that works with some of the biggest brands in hospitality and enterprise events is @CelesteDurve.

In this episode on How To Be A Host podcast, our conversation revolved around the challenges of recruiting and retaining top talent in the nightlife and hospitality industry.

[Charles Ewudo @charlesewudo]

Over the past 6 months I’ve been heads down with revamping our go-to market strategy.

Although it was a huge undertaking, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved in such a short time.

Here a step by step play of what we’ve done:

1. Content is king (mixing short form and long form content)
2. Marketing engines > Marketing funnels
3. The future of sales is multichannel
LinkedIn + cold emails + cold calls + content (all needs to work together)
4. Thought leadership content builds trust and credibility so building a content flywheel:

- podcast (long form)
- break it down into social clips (short form) > blog posts > LinkedIn post > Twitter post > newsletter

5. you’ll need something to sell: digital products, services etc.. anything!
6. Understand your ideal customer persona and make content to speak to them.
7. Valuable content > drives demand > increases revenue

Repeat this over and over for 12-18months 💰
