There’s no denying it: NFTs have become an almost unmissable talking point, not least in the creative industry. To help induct us into this exciting new space, Emily Drewry – expert and director of marketing at NFT platform Voice – will be joining us for a Pep Talk on Wednesday 18th May at 1pm on Instagram Live. So whether you’re a complete novice or looking for some insight into creating your own NFTs, be sure to tune in as Emily fills in on the opportunities available and shares some top tips on how to get started.
An NFT (or, non-fungible token) can come in any form – from a song or piece of clothing to an artwork or video clip. A unique and non-replicable digital asset, NFTs have made it possible for anyone and everyone to own unique digital items, while opening up a whole new way for creators to make profit from their work.
While there are exciting creative opportunities on offer, there’s no denying that the world of NFTs can seem a little tricky to get your head around. With this in mind, we’ve invited NFT expert Emily Drewry to help shed light on this fast-growing digital space, and the potential it holds for emerging creatives.
