LinkedIn Art Licensing Community Reaches 2,000 Members

Cherish Flieder is pleased to announced today that the ArtOfLicensing.com group on LinkedIn has reached the mile­stone mark of 2,000 members. This makes it the largest due-​free online networking group for an inter­na­tional art licensing community.

Members including licensors (artists, illus­trators, designers, and licensing agents), licensees (product manu­fac­turers, producers, corpo­ra­tions) as well as supporting roles such as attorneys, tech­nical profes­sionals, and media members. Members also include many inter­na­tional art licensing profes­sionals which promotes avenues of commu­ni­cation for cross-​cultural ideas.

ArtOfLicensing.com also has a following on Twitter (Twitter.com/ArtOfLicensing) and Facebook (Groups.to/ArtOfLicensing) as well where members can dialogue about art licensing issues on their preferred social media platform. Through Twitter real-​time feed of partic­i­pating art licensing artists is also offered. Visitors can see a cross section of artists’ “tweet” updates that can be book­marked in an RSS reader or enjoyed live on the Twitter platform (Twitter.com/ArtOfLicensing/art-licensing-artists).

The ArtOfLicensing.com group was founded in July 2008 by designer and art licensor Cherish Flieder (SomethingToCherish.com) as a way to bring those in the business of art licensing together in a supportive and coöper­ative format.

Members find LinkedIn’s platform easy to navigate and a natural extension of their indi­vidual LinkedIn profiles. Members exchange helpful ideas, news items, resources, report on trade shows, trends, and share infor­mation on marketing, copy­righting and licensing processes.

For infor­mation on partic­i­pating in this group, please visit: ArtOfLicensing.com

About LinkedIn:

LinkedIn (LinkedIn.com) is a business-​oriented social networking site of more than 60 million profes­sionals from over 200 coun­tries and terri­tories around the world. Executives from all Fortune 500 companies are LinkedIn members. A new member joins LinkedIn approx­i­mately every second, and about half of our members are outside the U.S. When you join, you create a profile that summa­rizes your profes­sional accom­plish­ments. Your profile helps you find and be found by former colleagues, clients, and partners. You can add more connec­tions by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you. Your network consists of your connec­tions, your connec­tions’ connec­tions, and the people they know, linking you to thou­sands of qual­ified professionals.
