Jacob Pace
CEO
Flighthouse
Jacob Pace’s path to his current position as CEO of Flighthouse, a company positioned to be the next big content brand for Generation Z, is illustrative of just how forward thinking and fearless this 21-year-old executive is.
At 14, he started a YouTube channel to help artists promote their music. Soon after his YouTube experience, he started writing for one of the world’s most influential dance music publications, EDM Sauce.
That led to freelance publicity work for a number of independent labels, all while Pace was still in high school. He was recruited by Create Music Group founders, although they thought he was in college instead of high school. It was while at Create that Jacob ran across Flighthouse, the music discovery channel on the video app musical.ly (now TikTok), a favorite among teenage music fans. With more than 26 million fans, Flighthouse is one of the largest destinations on TikTok and drives more than 2 billion views per month. Since acquiring the channel, Jacob and his team have grown its following by more than 3X, and have launched a marketing arm of the company called Flighthouse Media. Major brands and labels tap into Flighthouse for marketing and partnerships.
