Community-driven brands
in a world of constant scrolling.

In anticipation of significant market shifts projected for 2023, including the decline of MER and attribution, the first installment of Office Hours focused on the establishment of community-driven brands to effectively address those challenges. We discussed different approaches in creating a brand community, breaking in and establishing a subculture, measuring the success of community-building initiatives and strategies for culture expansion.

The panelists for the event include founders of some of the fastest-growing community brands in the NYC commerce community including Tim West (Co-Founder and Creative Director of Bandit Running), Jackie Burke (Founder of Tini Lux), and Kevin Lee (Co-Founder of Immi).
