Why are creator-moguls important? (Tks to @tzhongg for the expression)
2 — They build REAL communities that engage and ultimately help people in those communities feel connected. (Ingroups 101)
3 — The creators in the passion economy (tks @ljin18) build so much value in their communities. At Atelier, we are thinking about how those creators can be better sustained. Brand partnerships and #ad feels a little clunky.
We will see creator-led brands become the most important #CPG & #DTC companies over the next 10 years.
5 — Just like how @tiktok_us democratised video-creation tools and allows creators to launch masterful clips to their communities. Just like how @instagram did for images. Soon we will see the rise of product-creation platforms across all verticals.
6 — These platforms will allow creators to launch brands with a step-change in quality, speed and fitness-for-purpose
7 — Atelier is one of those platforms. Helping creators, founders and brands launch physical products quickly and efficient through a verified, global network of manufacturers.

2 — ...Which is interesting because the future of consumer packaged good is data-rich.
3 — I'm not talking about sales data, funnel metrics or psycho-graphic data to increase conversion. I'm talking about consumer-relevant data that goes deep on the how of the product.
1 — There is an inherent problem with traditional long-tail supply chains made of small-medium contract manufacturers.
2 — There is a mix-match of incentives between brands and contract manufacturers that sees these relationships breakdown regularly.
3 — The misalignment of incentives is derived inherently from the contract manufacturer's business model. CMs have expensive capital assets that they need to maximise up-time on (keep the machines running) in order to generate reasonable returns.
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
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.
