The app encourages users to share their creative work to their portfolios, to connect with collaborators and explore new opportunities

Dazed Media is rolling out a dedicated social networking app tied to its membership offering, Dazed Club, which was first launched in 2022.

First reported by WWD last May, the app, which launches on Monday, encourages users to share their creative work to their portfolios, to connect with collaborators and explore new opportunities.

Users can also explore and join groups, ask questions, and get advice from experts across the industry. They can also access event listings and editorial content from Dazed.

According to Jefferson Hack, CEO and cofounder of Dazed Media, the publisher of Dazed, AnOther and Nowness, by matchmaking creatives all over the world, Dazed Club is going to shape a new creative future for global youth.

Current creative networking applications are rigged against creative development so we have decided to build one that puts their requirements and interests at the heart, empowering and equipping the next generation to make their mark in the creative industry globally, Hack added.

Jack Sunnucks, creative director of Dazed Club, stated the app offers a new ecosystem for next-generation creatives.

We launched Dazed Club (in 2022) as a beta membership and this is a natural evolution — one that is global. The original Dazed Club members have been fundamental in developing and building what we are launching — it has been built by the community that will use it, he said.

You might be an illustrator looking for an animator, a photographer looking for a stylist, a filmmaker looking for a particular location, or a musician looking for a producer. Dazed Club is now able to not only offer its audiences behind-the-scenes access into the creative world of work, but access to other young people all over the world, he said.
