A Decade of Empowering Local Creatives

Following Boston is a driving force in the city’s creative landscape. Through collaborations with iconic brands and influential artists, we empower creators to showcase their talents and share their stories.

Founded by Michael Kalish in 2015, the platform has curated a vibrant community of 25,000 and amassed over half a million images tagged with #FollowingBoston.

Our journey includes exclusive coverage of high-profile figures such as Katie Couric, Johnny Depp, and Barack Obama, along with an in-depth interview with Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank.
