FBNY Exclusive: Former <I>Life & Style</I> EIC Helps Launch 'Daily Candy' for CEOs

The hipsters have Flavorpill. Cool dads have Urban Daddy. Young i-bankers have Thrillist. But where can CEOs turn for lifestyle advice? Mark Pasetsky, former Life & Style EIC and founder of Tecktonik Media, is here to help. In conjunction with Tom Taraci, CEO of TJT Motivation, an incentive marketing firm, Pasetsky launched Taraci.com, a site aimed to help the bosses we love spend their hard-earned cash. As editorial director, he creates content around vacations, restaurants, products and more curated by Taraci, a self-proclaimed foodie and travel expert. Taraci says the goal of Taraci.com is to inform CEOs about the wealth of luxury opportunities, as well as to drive traffic and attention back to his company and its luxury brand catalogue, The Taraci Collection. "[The site] is a lifestyle play for CEOs," Pasetsky adds, noting that incentive marketing is a $50 billion a year business. Initial sponsors for Taraci.com include Canon and Marriott.
