Interview With Mark Bubb of Killer Merch
Mark Bubb is the Co-owner of Killer Merch - the company that provides merch, for tours. Mark comes from the music world but his business has expanded to all corners of the entertainment industry. Killer Merch works with Ninja, Kevin Hart, and Jeffree Star Cosmetics - just to name a few. Mark played a huge role in both of our careers and it was amazing to catch up with him and hear what he has been up to. We have told you about the life/ job of selling merch on the road - but where do the merch guys get their merch from? This is where Mark comes into play. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!
