Brett Dashevsky
Founder
Creator Economy NYC
Brett Dashevsky is a founder, creator, and industry leading voice building at the intersection of social, culture, and technology.
He is the co-founder of Siftsy, the social insights platform analyzing comment sections to uncover the signals that drive culture and commerce. Brands and marketers use Siftsy to understand real audience sentiment, spot emerging trends, and make smarter decisions around campaigns, product direction, and business strategy.
Brett is also the founder of Creator Economy NYC, the country’s fastest-growing media and events brand rooted in New York’s creative energy. What began as a small IRL gathering has evolved into the capital for creators, marketers, and platforms - hosting panels, mixers, curated dinners, and industry conversations that shape the future of the creator economy.
Previously, Brett served as Head of Content Creators at Kickstarter, where he partnered with top creators and teams to develop high-impact launches and guide them through the crowdfunding process. Before that, he built and sold a creator-led media brand, later leading content and monetization efforts across several creator-driven properties at the acquiring company.
A creator himself, Brett blends experience, insight, and execution - bringing both practical understanding and strategic clarity to every project he builds.
He regularly speaks at industry events and conferences, including Cannes Lions, SXSW, VidCon, Social Media Week, Observe Summit, and more, where he leads conversations on creator marketing, social insights, and the future of online storytelling.
