Brands Driven by Artistic Communities
The beauty of community driven brands is the natural order of customer focus. Hear from three brands that have built - and recently launched - brands centered around artistic communities. Instagram, the preferred image platform, Spotify (who needs no introduction, especially in the live music capital of the world) and Shapeways, who is leading the 3-D Printing revolution will share their brands' growth through artists.
Join Bailey Richardson, Community at Instagram, Josh Karpf, Global Head of Social for Spotify, and Duann Scott, Designer Evangelist for 3-D printing innovators Shapeways.
This group will discuss how their artistic communities are transforming imagery, music and the maker movement.
