➖Collabosaurus has been acquired! 🍾
Where to begin! My journey with Collabosaurus has spanned 9 years, filled with challenges & achievements that have shaped my career. I’m extremely proud & excited to be handing the reins to the brilliant Lauren Swidenbank. Stay tuned for a proper introduction in upcoming posts.
I’m bursting with pride that I grew Collabosaurus to over 10,700 brands, attracting names like ASOS, Estée Lauder, Walmart & Merlin. I’ve forged our own successful partnerships with Microsoft, Vogue, 99designs & more. This incredible Instagram community & podcast listenership in the tens of thousands afforded me opportunities like speaking on stage at The Huddle, Apple & Vogue Codes &, winning a B&T award!
& most of all? I’m so proud I did this bootstrapped.
I picked myself up off the floor countless times to keep pursuing this business because I knew that Collabosaurus needed to exist. Not only has it made me & thousands of brands smarter with cost effective marketing (more on that soon), bootstrapping it has allowed me freedom & control over my own adventures.
This move feels right & I know without a shadow of a doubt that Lauren is the best person to take Collabosaurus to new heights.
What’s next for me? Well, you can expect my marketing & business obsession to continue on this IG account. I’ll be re-releasing the podcast & Partnerships Masterclass in the new year, & right now .2_co is scaling (exciting!) & needs a lot more of my attention.
Thank you for supporting me. Anyone who has ever paid for a subscription, bought an event ticket or online course, hired me to speak or sponsored the podcast, referred a friend or even shared Collabosaurus on Instagram - you kept the lights on & helped me grow my dream. I am SO grateful for you.
❤️ onwards & upwards, Chapter .2_co begins 😊
Please go and support the new team on the new page: - the business under Lauren’s wing is going to go gangbusters!!
