Matt has been with the company since it was set up, just six years ago, by a bunch of artists, musicians and makers who wanted somewhere to sell their own creations. It now handles $400 million in sales, with an annual revenue of $40-$50 million. In 2010, Etsy listed more than 6.7 million products of which the most popular categories were jewelry, art supplies and vintage. Matt has held various roles at Etsy, including heading up Marketing, and as VP of Community, and has been with the company since the beginning.
Matt will join us from his base in Germany to talk about making the most of the Etsy community and the wider online space to market and sell art and crafts. He will also share an insight into his own journey with Etsy, having been part of its phenomenal growth over the past six years.
This will be a unique opportunity to ask and learn about life behind the scenes at the world’s biggest handmade marketplace, and get insider tips to grow your creative business.
