Brand Showcase by
Not A Word is a street-inspired outerwear brand centered on transformable jackets & vests. Designed by filmmaker & creative director Anna Star, the pieces use black-and-white geometry as a visual language, allowing each look to express individuality through styling & presence. The project reflects on identity through the way we present ourselves, revealing who we are & who we aspire to become.

The Mall is the world's largest live product database, tracking stock movement, pricing activity, & new drops in real time for brands worldwide. It enables brands & buyers to monitor performance across portfolios-what's selling, what's stalling, & what's being marked down-empowering smarter buying decisions & saving thousands each quarter.

Aimerce helps DTC brands unlock unrealized revenue by capturing critical first-party customer data that default pixels miss. With a one-click install, brands can significantly boost email performance & paid media ROAS-driving up to a 40% increase in cart abandonment revenue. Backed by Upfront Capital, HF0, Capital F, Soma Capital, & angels from OpenAI, Reddit, & Robinhood. GDPR-compliant.
