It’s all about those global connections and I’m setting them up so you can get the most out making friends in far places. Businesses should be considered a global business - even if your customers are local. You never know who might come across your label and connect with it instantaneously. A big welcome to Kaio Freitas from Rio de Janerio who joins us as an advisory board member. Kaio is a serial entrepreneur with a heart for social impact and innovation. Having founded from startups to social movements, the intersection between tech and purpose is Kaio’s sweet spot. With 10+ years of experience in the creative industry, Kaio is the founder of Moda Limpa (Clean Fashion in Portuguese), a tech platform that helps fashion brands to be more sustainable by finding and vetting sustainable and ethical suppliers in Brazil. Based in Rio de Janeiro, Kaio also accumulates passages through cities like Mexico City, Los Angeles, Austin and Nairobi working in partnership with NGOs, startups and government agencies to imagine ideas and opportunities for innovation that can transform the world through design and technology. In 2017 he was nominated one of 68 most inspiring men in Brazil according to the website "Papo de Homem" and in 2018 Kaio was also selected to be part of the Young Leaders of the Americas, an U.S. Department of State fully-funded program to empower young entrepreneurs from Latin America and the Caribbean. Slide into Slack so you can get to know Kaio and everyone else in the community too.
Seems like a completely appropriate outfit to where any day of the week 👌🏼❤️ wearing what you love and makes you happy is the most important thing in personal style.
Fashion biz bosses, are you leveraging insights from Google Trends? There are various ways to gain business advantages such as keyword research, product trends, and seasonal data. Just wondering, should we host a short workshop on the basics of Google Trends?
