Artemis partner Lobus was recently featured in the Financial Times- “Should artists have a stake in their own work?” by John Gapper. Artists often see little if any of the profit of secondary sales from their works, with the vast majority going to other seller and auction house fees. The article features Lobus in their discussion of have NFTs can help. NFTs makes being owners of one’s own art easier— digital ownership can be attached to physical artworks that record minority shareholders and trigger payments when works are sold. Sarah Wendell Sherrill, co-founder, says that artists should be treated as founders of a tech company— able to gain outside investment without giving up all their equity. Lobus helps artists take control of the sale of their work and retain some of that equity. #nft #nftart #lobus #artistsequity #youngartists #financialtimes

Artemis Partner @withlobus was featured in @voguemagazine discussing their work with the Obsidian Collection. The collaboration converted 15 rare, iconic digital photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from his visit to Chicago in 1966 into NFTs for auction. The collection gives “current and future generations a chance to own an emblem of their own past.” The collection of images were taken on the personal camera of legendary photographer John Tweedle, “one of five he wore around his neck, as he snapped photos for The Daily News, Jet magazine, The Chicago Defender and The Chicago Sun-Times.” In celebration of the release and their partnership with Obsidian, Lobus hosted a dinner at Red Rooster in Harlem, pictured here with Chef Marcus Samuelsson.

Lisa Drake, vice president of electric vehicle industrialization at Ford, sat down with Glamour to discuss being a woman at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution, how advancing women in engineering is best solved (spoiler alert– “Policies unlock potential!”), and the groundbreaking nature of Ford’s new Lightning vehicle. Lisa credits her success in part to her mother, who taught her that she could do anything she set her mind to, and her male mentors who saw her potential and helped her. Lisa Drake, among other women at Ford such as Linda Zhang, the car’s chief engineer; Cynthia Williams, global director of sustainability; and Megan Gegesky, the program management launch supervisor, were at the head of the creation and rollout of the Lightning– Ford’s “most ambitious innovation since the Model T.” Check out the Glamour article to read more! —— #electricvehicle #fordlightning #womenengineers #leadwithvalue #electriccar #ford

Yesterday was Juneteenth, a holiday that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers alerted enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas that they were free– two months after the Confederacy had surrendered and two years since the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is a day to acknowledge the evils of slavery, appreciate the progress that has been made, and reflect on all that still needs to be done. Last year, President Biden made Juneteenth a federal holiday, meaning that federal agencies, banks, and schools are closed today. Many employers also give their employees time off on Monday, including the likes of Nike, Target, and Best Buy. Companies should make sure that they’re not just observing the holiday, but encouraging employees to honor it on their day off and beyond. Shopping at black owned businesses or donating to racial justice organizations (to name a few– The 15 Percent Pledge, The NAACP Legal Defense Fund, The Bail Project, Black Girls CODE), are two ways to commemorate the day. #juneteenth

Lobus, co-founded by Christie’s alumni Lori Hotz and Sarah Wendell Sherill, is an equity-management platform for artists that allows artists to manage their own assets and see more of the profit when their pieces are sold. Currently, Lobus manages $9 billion in assets— including those of the Rothko family and Louis Vuitton foundation. Lobus hopes to help artists manage said assets through NFTs— a word now familiar yet still ambiguous to many. Forbes explains the idea by saying that NFTS “certify authentication of a physical work and build an artist’s ownership into that certificate.” Thus, when a piece sells, an artist can receive a fraction of the selling price. Lobus is hoping to create a healthier art market that facilitates fairness and greater connection between artists and consumers. Artemis is thrilled to be partnering with these game changing founders.

Do you think your mayo needs a mission statement? This is the question Unilever and its shareholders are facing as they push for their brands to have a social or environmental purpose. Hellman’s Mayo is now seeking to mitigate food waste. And while shareholders think that this is just a public display of sustainability at the expense of the actual business, they shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss Hellman’s efforts. “Workers […] increasingly expect their employers to reflect their own values. Consumers […] are increasingly willing to use or drop brands based on a company’s response to calls for racial justice.” Values and purpose work is complicated, and a brand’s mission must be handled carefully and thoughtfully. Artemis can help— hey @breyers Ice Cream, call us! Read more on the @wsj !

Last week, @arcaea founder Jasmina Aganovic @jasmina.aganovic spoke at the WWD CEO Summit, “Beauty Unfiltered.” Topics of conversation at the summit ranged from discussion of understanding the highly connected beauty consumers of today such as Gen Z, to the fast changing global supply dynamics, as well as other relevant issues in biotech beauty, sustainability, inclusivity, and transparency. Jasmina received a round of applause as she described a need for transparency and clarity when it comes to GMOs. Other speakers included the likes of @jackieaina, @marianna_hewitt , @bengorham, and more. ——— #wwd #wwdbceo #biotechnology #biotechbeauty #sustainability #sustainablebeauty #gmo

This week The Met Gala made its annual debut, benefiting the Metropolitian Museum’s Costume Institute and opening Part 2 of In America: An Anthology of Fashion. Guests interpreted the theme in a variety of ways, wearing elegant pieces with elements of the Gilded Era. Honorary Chair of the Gala, and Met Trustee, Anna Wintour, appeared in a tiara, a family heirloom. Chef Marcus Samuelsson, who chose a roster of American female chefs (see post from March 25), for the evening’s menu, said that the gala celebrated American craftsmanship. The Met Gala, in all of its glamour, is the sole source of funding for the Met’s Costume Institute. The current exhibit that opens this week— In America: An Anthology of Fashion— showcases the untold stories of American fashion, with a focus on women and women of color. Hildy had the honor of attending the gala and welcoming @flotus Dr. Jill Biden to the exhibit on Monday. #themet #themetgala #themetcostumeinstitute #anthologyoffashion #flotus #annawintour

In 2018, Ford announced plans to convert Michigan’s Central Station and its surrounding area in Detroit into a hub for electric and self-driving vehicles. Last month, Ford expanded on this vision, announcing that they’ll be partnering with Google in considering graduates of Google’s Career Certificates program in the city for relevant roles at the hub. The project will put Ford at the forefront of demonstrating what’s possible for motor companies’ commitment to sustainability and the future of electric vehicles. Mary Culler, president of the Ford Motor Co. Fund and supervisor of the approximately $800 million investment, told the AP that Ford is in the “front row” of innovation, and the transformation of the district will be a “game-changer for the city, state, and the region.” —— #ford #google #michigancentralstation #selfdriving #electriccar #googlecareercertificates #detroit #fordmotorcompanyfund

Reaching Gen Z and Millennial consumers is more important now than ever, especially considering Gen Z’s spending power of over $300 billion. But in order to reach them, brands must consistently express their core values in a cogent, clear way. 25% of 18-24 year olds say that they trust brands– a greater percentage than those who trust the government and media. They favor brands that connect with them on an emotional level. Further, nearly half (48%) of Gen Z and Millenials say that sustainability and ethical trading values is more of a factor in how they shop after the pandemic. ——— Source: The Afterpay Global Gen Z Report Drapers Gen Z and Millenials Report #genz #millennials #drapers #afterpay #genzconsumers #brandvalues
