Conceived back in 2018 in New York, Village Studio is rapidly expanding its business which is dedicated to bringing brands and influencers with "Instagram-ready backdrops for shooting ads and promos." The brand was conceived by an influencer marketing agency founded by Vickie Segar. The two new locations launched in 2020 include a site in Los Angeles' West Hollywood and a $15,000-per-month loft in Brooklyn. Segar shares that "the new spaces will give brands more design and aesthetic variety for their future influencer-led campaigns."
Business Insider has described what Village Studio offers to be basically like a WeWork, providing "a clean, uber-modern apartment space that's designed to be used for influencer photo shoots." The niche that Village Studio is filling projected to become a $15 billion industry by the year 2022.
