You're So Vain
Today we are announcing an exciting new feature on Stage 32 - Vanity (Personalized) URL's.

Having a shortened Stage 32 vanity URL will make it easier to post the link to your profile on social media platforms where limited space…

Spring Member Drive
As many of you know, since day one, the Stage 32 community has been completely crowdsourced. When we were about to go into beta with the site, I asked 100 people to join, look around, contribute and if they liked what they saw to please invite 5 fellow creative peers to the community. We then asked the same of the people those initial users invited. Within a month or so, we had over 5,000 members in the community resulting in meaningful business relationships and projects being launched.…

Since our inception way back in the latter half of 2011, we’ve taken particular pride in our award winning blog.
