How Brydie turned her art into a booming global business
This week I interview Brydie Stewart who is the curious creative and founder of the much-loved eCommerce brand ‘Mary Maker Studio’ where she sells beautiful macrame cord supplies to the crafters of the world. Brydie is a Visual Arts educator & creativity coach with a global following of over 500k worldwide. She has transformed the face of Fibre Art with her innovative practices, exclusive range of bespoke fibres and sought-after educational experiences. Now I observe a lot of brands online and some female founders have this unique x-factor that draws you in and sparks interest and make you want to keep watching and finding out more - not only about their products but also about them as a person. It’s the warmth, and love of what they do and the way they connect with their audience which sets these founders apart - that is Brydie! In this episode we cover: How to approach business as an artist first and foremost How she has grown a global online community How she created a world-first when others said it couldn’t be done Not letting production difficulties stop her from creating her dream product Why she continuously puts her customers at the centre of everything How to use conversation and community to grow How to have fun on Instagram and not take things too seriously Her current sales and marketing funnel and how that has evolved over time And so much more!
