Creators are the new brands.
Think about it — a great brand is an engaged community, ritualising around a common value system
Creators are doing this better than anyone right now.
An engaged community of followers can be brought together around an idea, a cause, a product or service.
We see this in the beauty industry — the big sucess stories over the last 5 years have been influencer lead community brands.
@fentybeauty , @summerfridays , Go-To, @kkwbeauty , @glossier , @hudabeauty ... Let's look at what @Humanrace and @aboutfacebeauty do next...
The interesting thing about these brands is that they are founded by people with relatively little supply chain experience — when the supply chain is the mechanism that is delivery all that value.
They are founded by creators with an incredible understanding of the needs of the community that has formed around them.
Some creators partner with existing brands or parent companies to achieve their goals, some labour for years to get their manufacturer mix right.
Our platform, Atelier, is the rails for these creators. Our manufacturing network gives creators the opportunity to launch CPG brands rapidly, without prior supply chain knowledge.
As more Manufacturing-as-a-Service platforms scale we will see a bright new future of creator-led brands.

1/ #Manufacturing is broken. We can all see that now. Global supply chains have been bending and breaking under the strain of #COVIDー19. From medical supplies to plastics to automakers, brands are scrambling to refactor their supply chains to adapt to our changed reality.
2/ At E xD Atelier, we’ve seen the writing on the wall for the last two years, and it’s my position that CoVid-19 will be to #cloudmanufacturing what SARS was to ecommerce. That is to say, the cause of the bend in the elbow, the catalyst that saw adoption explode.
3/ The rigidity and lack of dynamism in traditional supply chains leave them exposed to all manner of risk. We've seen that risk become reality with trade war and now #coronavirus

The @CDCgov @WHO and @NSWHealth put personal hygiene as one of the major strategies to slow the spread of #COVIDー19
Here in Australia we have a nationwide shortage of ethanol and other ingredients to make hand sanitiser, hand wash, antibacterial wipes etc.
Last Thursday we mobilised at Atelier. We are a #cloudmanufacturing platform that virtualises manufacturing resources globally to make dynamic #supplychains to produce personal care products.
