The Up and Coming: Gerard Santinelli

Instagram Account: Gerard Santinelli, @g.santinelli
Follower Count: 29

Now, you might be wondering why we went from an account like @superstreet which had 1.7 million followers and now we have an account who just barely broke the 20 follower barrier. Well, like any good enthusiast out there, we know that numbers can't tell the whole story.

Now who is @g.santinelli? Well, he is Gerard Santinelli, the CEO of Santinelli International and an avid car lover. If you doubt this, just take a look at his Porsche 911 Targa.

Now, it's not everyday that a CEO of a certain company decides to start and Instagram account for his own personal hobby. Our attention was piqued when we saw pictures of his Porsche 911 Targa on a number of car-centric accounts on Instagram. When we checked out the account, it's less than a month old but already had a number of uploads both from his own collection and some street finds. When you look at the upload, it does not have that "car magazine" feel with it. Instead, it's just like a personal Instagram account of somebody who likes cars... a lot.

So we asked ourselves... Why hasn't this account blown up yet? The account is your best example of how an up-and-coming account should be. Unique, unassuming, and focused. It's almost as if Gerard Santinelli just uses this account whenever something catches his attention in the street.

Like what I mentioned above, @g.santinelli is not all about the best and most beautiful car. I think every car enthusiast will agree with me when I say that it's not really about that. Of course we can upload photos of the sleekest, fastest, and newest cars but it doesn't hurt to show some love for cars such as the Mercedes Benz Sprinter.

So if you like an up-and-coming account that does not necessarily post the best but have something new for you everyday, @g.santinelli is one of the best out there. Find out what he spots on the streets today!
