Linktree, the ‘link in bio’ category creator, announced a new brand vision to cement the ownership of the link-in-bio category.

The new brand champions the business transition from a ‘link-in-bio’ tool to a platform which fuels engagement and community across the digital universe. A suite of new tools and features is set to be released over the coming months. These include new ways to share content, build connections with audiences and monetize passions.

“Following findings in our recent 2022 Creator Economy Report on the size of the creator economy – at a huge 200m individuals – Linktree believes the potential of the space has been underestimated to date,” said Alex Zaccaria, CEO and Co-Founder “We strongly believe that anyone has the ability to grow highly engaged, connected audiences and monetize what they do through a single link. Our new identity is befitting of the vision of the company, as some of that starts to be realized, with so much more on the way.”
