Music NFTs, says Holguin, are a way to introduce people to Web3, the nascent idea of a new, decentralized internet model based on blockchains. “It just needs to be controlled.”ĭoodles brought on the singer Pharrell Williams as chief brand officer in June, opening the doors to different applications of blockchain technology. “We're very keen on actually developing other people's opportunities to utilize their characters in their own commercial efforts,” says Hoguin. Since then, the team has continued to work with its collectors, allowing Doodles owners to commercialize their NFTs for up to $100,000 before requiring a licensing agreement, and even hiring holders and creators of derivatives of the artworks as illustrators. Now, the collection touts major name collectors including DJ Steve Aoki, Justin Bieber and entrepreneur Gary Vee. But the action had the opposite effect, generating hype within the blossoming NFT community that increased the artworks’ popularity. Management made the controversial decision to close the collection’s Discord channel at 1,000 participants when it was first launching, a move that might have been expected to alienate potential collectors. “As we scale and we scale rapidly,” adds Hoguin, “having her as a sounding board and as a true partner is going to be invaluable because we want to be built on culture, we want to elicit joy and creativity.”Doodles has demonstrated a strong history of community integration since its initial mint in October. But it was after meeting the Doodles team at SXSW XSW last year that she was immediately drawn in by the brand’s diverse community.ĭoodles CEO Julian Hoguin says Doodles is looking to draw from Holloway’s experiences as an HR executive to expand both internally and externally. Katelin Holloway, 776 founding partner and Doodles board member, was introduced to Doodles by Ohanian, an early collector of Doodles.
