We are thrilled to double down on our investment in Linktree, the beloved tool used by ✨24 million✨ creators, artists & brands.
Linktree started by creating the link-in-bio category. Today, it’s an essential platform where users can curate, grow & monetize online identities🧵👇
The average person had 8.6 social media accounts in 2020, up from 4.8 in 2014 - and we expect that to continue to increase.
👉Linktree – allows you to create a table of contents for your online story 📚
The platform aggregates your digital presence under one profile & provides an identity layer for your audience across the internet.
For creators, this unlocks massive value. Audiences are no longer siloed & can easily navigate b/t sites.
Georgia sat down with Alex Zaccaria at the Index Creator Summit to discuss the evolving use cases for Linktree.
