Say hello to a comprehensive overview of the Maker Culture in 2024/25.
Get four specific insights on the new role of the maker and a chance to translate these into your business with our strategy workbook.
What’s the role of the maker in 2024/25? How to be connected to craftsmanship and aligned with future directions and innovation?
Any maker needs to be in tune with what the market looks for today. You know it’s crucial to have consumer insights and be aware of their needs and values that have changed. But how do you pursue change without losing your signature or essence?
In a slowing economy, uncertainty makes it hard for personal brands to navigate. Imagine honing your strategy by knowing what’s next in the Maker Culture. Brand trust, no matter how small or large the brand is, is hot currency – people crave honest answers and actions in a world where they’re not sure who to rely on. As a maker, you need a solid standing in answering consumer values.

“I’ve been following Gudy Herder’s work as a trendsetter for many years now; needless to say, her skills for spotting talent and beauty are astounding.
Pursuing a career as an artist and maker can be challenging. The path as a maker is a solitary one; the isolation of one’s studio can more than often make you lose perspective of the bigger picture.
The Maker Culture report is an extensive research that maps out the profound shifts that are taking place in craftsmanship, a go-to handbook for makers that will help them stay in tune with the market as well as societal changes and expectations.
As a maker, I find especially interesting the strategic approach that Gudy offers in her report; if you are a maker willing to expand your career approach or learn new ways of engaging with brands, this is definitely for you!”
