Jaden Thompson Studio71 has signed an advertising partnership with Unspeakable, a popular family-friendly content creator on YouTube who has more than 33 million subscribers across four channels and amasses 150+ million views every month. Houston native Nathan Milner, known online as “Unspeakable,” began creating Minecraft content more than ten years ago.
His content has since expanded to include family-friendly challenges and stunt videos featured on his primary channel; his other channels feature gaming, vlogs and reactions. “It’s remarkable how Unspeakable has amassed millions of loyal followers through his incredibly engaging, family-friendly content,” said Matt Crowley, co-CEO of Studio71.

Unspeakable’s team, including his manager from Night Media, Nick Brotman and his COO, America Whitten, brokered the partnership along with Studio71’s VP of creator partnerships and growth strategy, Matt Barker. “We’re excited to unlock more revenue generating opportunities for Nathan and the entire Unspeakable business through our new partnership with Studio 71,” Brotman and Whitten said in a joint statement.

I can’t wait to get out of here.’ That’s kind of how I feel about it.”He continued: “It’s just a matter of living in my present.”The pair met in a lift at the Adelphi Ballroom back in 1967, before forming Hall & Oates
