Hey listeners, welcome back to WorkParty! I’m so excited for today’s episode. I’m chatting with not one but two trailblazers in fashion media who have played integral roles in shaping fashion’s digital presence. Kat Collings, editor-in-chief of the premier fashion website WhoWhatWear.com, and Brianna Mobrem, President and CFO at Clique Brands, are at the helm of their industry, changing the way women feel about fashion and beauty.

Under Kat’s leadership, Who What Wear received Digiday's most innovative publisher award, readership grew 117%, and sales driven from content had a meteoric rise of 230%.Top line revenue grew 1500% over the course of Brianna’s tenure, while her financial expertise and deep knowledge of the business has been instrumental in leading multiple fundraising rounds for Clique Brands.

Both lead the company and its goal of championing the idea that style is inclusive and attainable by all. Today we’re talking about their path to success in style, and the moves that set them ahead of the rest.

June 08, 2022 Personalizing Innovation with Ashleigh Hinde, Founder & CEO of WALDO
When Ashleigh Hinde launched WALDO as an ambitious 28-year-old, she had one goal: disrupt the eye care industry and make eye care an essential part of everyday life. She founded WALDO as an innovative, global e-commerce company that would champion positive vision for all through accessible, high quality products and trustworthy expert service with a human centric customer experience. Today, the brand sells daily contact lenses and other eye care products without the price tag and hassle. As the granddaughter of acclaimed South African wildlife photographer, Gerald Hinde, as well as an avid wildlife photographer herself, Ashleigh understood the role our eyes play in how we see the world. She began wearing contacts at 11 years old and after nearly two decades, spent across three continents, grew frustrated with the quality of and massive markups on contact lenses sold by large pharmaceutical companies. She launched WALDO from a simple need: she needed to order more contacts but found the process complicated, confusing and expensive. So, inspired to drive innovation in the industry, she dove head first into the world of entrepreneurship to make eye care both personal and exciting. On this episode of WorkParty, find out how Ashleigh made the leap to entrepreneurship after years in the corporate world, and how she’s on a mission to end avoidable blindness, one lens at a time.

May 25, 2022 Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities & Passions Into Profit With Creator & Filmmaker, Renae Bluitt
Today’s guest is a filmmaker, digital content creator, and branding expert, who serves as an advocate for Black women’s accurate representation in the media. With over a decade of experience, she’s gained valuable insight into Black women entrepreneur’s narratives — a passion that she channeled into her cinematic debut. Renae Bluitt is the executive producer and creative director of “She Did That”— a documentary that explores the passionate pursuits of Black women and their journeys as entrepreneurs. The film offers an intimate peek inside the truths, trials, and triumphs of Black women building brands and their legacies. She Did That premiered at the ESSENCE Music Festival and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Renae sought to spotlight the drive that Black women use to turn their obstacles into opportunities and passions into profit. Now, with her podcast of the same name, Renae continues to inspire the next generation of change agents with the stories of inspiring women. On this episode of Workparty I’m so excited to chat with Renae about her experience as a filmmaker, entrepreneurship and the funding gap for women of color, and her tried and true strategy to overcome fear.
