UBC006 - Ben Fainlight Unorthodox Blend Conversations

We’ve known Ben since we begun working closely with StockX. He is always willing to make time for us to just check in and talk and holds his ground in just about any topic, particularly if it relates to culture, art or creativity in general design. We always leave our conversations refreshed and inspired and feeling more at ease that there are other people like us in the world!

Ben combines his understanding and enthusiasm for Culture, Community, and Collaboration to create award-winning, impactful, memorable moments and campaigns that push brands forward, drive growth and create conversation.
He has a varied experience, from running his own clothing brand to working at unicorn startups like StockX. Ben has had the pleasure of working with various collaborators including Revlon and Megan Thee Stallion, Daniel Arsham, Sarah Andelman, Lewis Hamilton, Nothing and 100T amongst others.

Our conversation with ben focussed on the culture and psychology of collecting, organic creativity and the need for us all to just put ourt work out there to see what happens.
