For the past several months, as the culmination of a discussion spanning more than two years, the Clickin Moms team has been working on some exciting changes that reflect, celebrate, and formalize the growth and progress our company has experienced since it inception in 2008.
What began as a supportive forum for moms who love photography has blossomed into a parent company with an online photography school that educates 2,000 students per month, a professional network of advanced photographers, a print magazine with 30,000 circulation, an annual education and networking conference, an online store, a mailing list of more than 100,000, and well over two million annual visitors and followers – all in addition to the original Clickin Moms community of 16,000 members. As we have grown, it’s become clear we need to make some changes to reflect the company we’ve become and the photographers we serve.
With this in mind, the organization, branding, and voice of our primary brand and its daughter brands is evolving. Our new parent organization is called CLICK & COMPANY, and it holds a family of brands. Our membership organization will remain Clickin Moms, a supportive place to get started in and grow as a photographer. We’re proud of Clickin Moms and the strong brand it has become, as well as its role in helping thousands of women to find and explore their connection with photography. We look forward to continuing to welcome new members into our community and elevating the benefits and experiences we provide to our current members. Here on the Clickin Moms blog, you’ll see a slightly different look to reflect the new CM logo, and we will continue to serve fresh and friendly photography content as an introduction to the social sharing and educational content that our Clickin Moms members enjoy with their subscriptions.
The sister divisions will be rebranded and realigned to better position themselves relative to the audiences they serve and the products they offer, and there will continue to be significant cross-over and collaboration among all of our brands.
