- Entrepreneurship
In Episode 48 of Earned, Conor sits down with Daniel Landver, CEO of influencer-brand incubator Digital Brand Products (DBP). To start the episode, Daniel shares which creator brand launches he’s most excited about, and reveals that DBP’s 50 brands at market are expected to achieve $250 million in retail sales this year. Daniel then breaks down what separates a $50 million brand from a $1 million brand, and provides a closer look into how DBP works with creators on brand operations, licensing, and partnerships. Next, we learn why the growing (yet largely unrecognized) power of the creator economy inspired Daniel to start DBP in 2015 as a division of influencer management company Digital Brand Architects. From there, we discuss how COVID-19 impacted the future of brand-retailer partnerships, and Daniel emphasizes the importance of an omnichannel approach. To close the show, Daniel shares the advice he gives creators who are considering launching their own brands, and reveals whether he thinks we’ve hit a saturation point with creator and celebrity brands.
