Dazed Media has expanded its niche creative networking platform, Dazed Club, making it publicly accessible on Android via Google Play. Initially launching on iOS in 2024 and attracting over 15,000 users, the app is now positioned to reach the broader 18–25 age demographic across global Android markets.
Originally conceived as a community built around young creatives and bolster entry into the arts and cultural industries, Dazed Club enables users to share work, build creative portfolios, and network directly with peers and industry professionals. Features include specialist groups, project brief collaborations, and access to events ranging from paid opportunities to free workshops and gallery sessions.
The Android rollout responds to demand for inclusive access, reflecting the fact that over 70% of global mobile users are on Android devices. According to creative director Jack Sunnucks, this launch fulfils the app’s mission of connecting emerging talent “any young creative, anywhere in the world“. The move aligns with the platform’s goal of removing barriers to engagement and reinforcing its community-first ethos.
Dazed Club has cultivated brand partnerships that offer users real-world value. Collaborations with high-profile brands like Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen, Nike, Samsung, and Spotify have already featured in app-hosted events and exclusive creative briefs. In parallel, partnerships with institutions such as Central Saint Martins, Goldsmiths, and Red Bull Racing underscore its blend of creativity and professional opportunity.
This expansion into the Android ecosystem signals a pivotal moment for Dazed Club, as does its push to be more globally available. Whether or not the app will expand beyond its current user base and audience remains to be seen, but it may be successful both as a social platform and for bringing new users into discovering Dazed.
