Beck is co-owner of the marketing and management company Check One Two Perfect GmbH, which, in addition to him, also manages YouTuber Bianca Heinicke (married name Claßen, "BibisBeautyPalace") and ("Julienco"). Beck came under criticism in February 2015 as manager of the German YouTube - Star Bianca Heinicke.[2] In one of her videos, Heinicke recommended a watch for around 250 EUR (~276,48 USD). However, she had concealed the fact that she made a profit via the web link she offered under her video. Beck was accused by german TV Host Jan Böhmermann (Neo magazine Royale) of operating a business model with "mixture of the coolness of QVC combined with the seriousness and transparency of 9Live". The product placements would allow "13-year-olds to pay for his future pension".[3]
