About Me

Hey there! My name is Mike Iannetta, a.k.a, Mike Will Travel. I’m a YouTube content creator and hospitality marketing specialist with a passion for travel and unique accommodations.

I was born and raised in New Jersey and lived in New York City for 5 years to attend college at Fordham University. I launched my first entrepreneurial venture at age 17 and the rest is history.

A brief timeline that got me to where I am today:

  • Created a clothing line at age 17 and raised $5,000 in a Kickstarter campaign. The first time I caught the entrepreneurial bug!

  • Went to Fordham University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in marketing in 2019.

  • Held internships at Expedia, AOL, and a tech start-up that was featured on Shark Tank while attending college full-time.

  • Launched several businesses during college (most of which failed), which included a mobile app development agency and a travel app. I briefly dropped out of college to join a start-up incubator.

  • Studied abroad in Europe in 2017 where I discovered my passion for traveling. Traveled to over a dozen new countries in 4 months and collaborated with over 10 luxury hotels to stay for free in exchange for free marketing consulting.

  • Started my digital marketing agency that I still run today shortly after in 2017. My first ever paid client was a luxury boutique hotel in the Swiss Alps. Today I actively service over a dozen large hotel chains, boutique hotels, and Airbnb properties with many more in my portfolio of past work.

  • Made it my mission to work for myself by the time I graduated college. I grew my marketing agency during my final year of college, achieved a full-time income, and then moved 10,000 miles away to Bali, Indonesia the week after I graduated college in May of 2019.

  • Launched my YouTube channel in the middle of a global pandemic in mid-2020. It started as a unique hotel channel and then quickly pivoted to focus more on unique Airbnbs, cabins, and smaller accommodations.

Career highlights:

  • Gained over 8,000,000 lifetime views on my YouTube channel to date.

  • Visited over 200 luxury hotels, Airbnbs, and unique properties to provide content creation services and marketing support.

  • Traveled to 29 countries all over the world.

  • Had my content featured by and worked with major brands like Hotels.com, Squarespace, Sheraton Hotels, Mandarin Oriental, Burj Al Arab, and many more.

  • Helped my clients gain a combined over 2,000,000 new followers on Instagram. Brought one large resort client from 200,000 to over 1,000,000 Instagram followers in just 2 years.

When I’m not shooting a YouTube video or launching a marketing campaign, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog Maddie, hitting the gym, scoping out the best local cocktail bar and coffee shop, and planning my next trip. Thanks for stopping by!
