Creative Resources for Threadless Artist Shops
THE PROJECT
When I arrived at Threadless, the new Creative Resource blog was just two posts deep. Along with our digital marketing specialist, I built out the Creative Resources blog, featuring everything from bringing in interviews with high-profile artists to creating inspirational posts that still account for some of our most popular posts on the blog, and more.
STATS
In 2016 we grew our readership by 88% using SEO tactics, an email newsletter, and stellar content.
