In the same way that Silicon Valley became the place to be for tech, Miami has quickly become a hub for venture capitalists and Web3. From allowing citizens to pay city taxes via cryptocurrency to proposals for paychecks to be received in Bitcoin—the city is at the cutting edge of this revolution.

Jesse Kirshbaum, CEO of NUE Agency and editor-in-chief of the monthly Adweek column Beats, Bytes and Brands, Avery Akkineni, president of VaynerNFT, and Magdalena Kala, consumer Web3 investor, sat down for a chat during Brandweek to explore the paramount shift that’s taking place in Miami’s culture and how they’re adapting their businesses in the space.

The Miami moment 

Akkineni and Kala both recently moved to Miami, where they agree the next generation of talent is moving, building and creating.

“The choice to move here felt quite simple with the vibe, energy and connection to Latin America,” Kala said.
