How Alex Gunnarsson started
Alex Gunnarsson started his first business at 14, cold calling local businesses to offer help with their social media. After three months of calls he landed one client and ran their Facebook ads while he was still in high school.
After San Diego State University he worked in enterprise sales at a large tech company and became its top sales rep out of 364. He has worked with creators since 2020. He left that job to build something of his own and started OVO Talent with no creators and no brands, sending cold emails until brands and creators said yes. OVO Talent LLC was formed in Florida in 2025.
What Alex Gunnarsson does
