Max Stein transformed from a downtown scenester into a manager for multi-hyphenate tastemakers and founded Brigade to represent influential creators. He specializes in finding unique, singular creative voices and converting their work into revenue through brand deals and curated opportunities. He recognized commercial potential early in stylists, bloggers, and consultants who built followings on Substack and Instagram. Brigade’s roster spans established fashion influencers and newer newsletter writers focused on shopping, business, and youth trends. Clients benefit from Stein’s capacity to bridge direct-to-audience content and legacy media while monetizing distinct creative projects.
