Podcast appearances and mentions of amanda zuckerman

According to Urban Dictionary, "dormify" means "to decorate your living space with cool, trendy, hip fashion." It was added in 2011, the same year Dormify, the powerhouse brand behind the growing Internet trend for designer dorm rooms, was officially launched. Co-founded by Amanda Zuckerman and her mom, this brand has transformed dorm and small-space living into something chic, personalized, and functional.  As Amanda stood in the aisles of Bed Bath & Beyond with her mom in 2009, trying to find dorm room essentials, she couldn't find bedding suitable for dorm room beds, let alone something stylish. She realized she was having a lightbulb moment. She planned to create a brand dedicated to students getting ready for college. With encouragement from her mother, Amanda co-founded Dormify at 18 years old from her dorm room. Over the past 13 years, Amanda's college startup success has helped countless millennials create the dorm room of their dreams and now Gen Z (and soon-to-be Gen Alpha) are catching on to the growing trend. Throughout her entrepreneurial journey, Amanda has learned the best way to navigate the co-founder relationship between mother and daughter, how to adapt to the needs of a new generation while innovating new products, and how to find her rhythm as a young founder. With so much success already under her belt, Amanda is looking forward to the next evolution of Dormify, transitioning to the go-to brand for all your pivotal life moments, from decorating your first apartment to your baby nursery.  Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.

“Just as I carefully choose my outfits and accessories every day, I put the same thought into how my room would look,” shares Amanda Zuckerman, co-founder and president of Dormify, a leading retailer specializing in college dorm and apartment essentials. This week, Amanda joins Lindsay Pinchuk to dive into the importance of truly listening to the community around a brand—a practice that has been central to Dormify's success.Amanda's entrepreneurial journey began in her own college dorm, where she identified a gap in the market for stylish, functional decor. This insight sparked the creation of Dormify, a thriving business now partnered with nearly 900 colleges and universities and supported by a vibrant community of over 1,000 student ambassadors. But what really drives Dormify's growth? Amanda emphasizes the critical need to understand and connect with Generation Z, the company's primary customers.Reflecting on Dormify's early days, Amanda recounts how they built their brand from the ground up, starting with a WordPress blog that engaged college students and their families. This focus on content and community laid the foundation for their success and allowed them to seamlessly transition to emerging social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok. A pivotal moment came when they embraced a TikTok strategy, inspired by advice from Gary Vaynerchuk, leading to a significant boost in their following and engagement. Amanda shares practical advice for aspiring female founders, emphasizing the power of networking, finding the right strategic advisors, and staying in tune with your customers. Quotes“As our customers and their content consumption habits changed and evolved, we followed suit. We were very much the type of brand that jumped on every social platform as soon as we learned about it. We had to just experiment and gain traction.” (12:56 | Amanda Zuckerman) “If you have something you want to talk about and content you want to put out there, just start doing it, no matter what is holding you back.” (16:59 | Amanda Zuckerman)“Community is really important to the brand. As I mentioned, we position ourselves as a big sister to all of those college students. That means going above and beyond, with customer service at a really high level… I often refer to our customer service team—or rather, our customer experience team—as therapists in a way.” (39:02 | Amanda Zuckerman)“Staying close to our customer is probably the number one thing that differentiates us from any of the competitors in our space. No other competitor understands the customer like we do, and that's because we've made it a priority.” (41:11 | Amanda Zuckerman)Connect with Amanda Zuckerman:https://www.dormify.com/http://www.instagram.com/dormifyConnect with your target customer!

The vision for Dormify was born out of founder Amanda Zuckerman's own experience shopping for her freshman dorm at Washington University in St. Louis. While double majoring in graphic design and marketing, Amanda created Dormify as a dorm lifestyle blog supported by a college ambassador community. After graduation, she launched Dormify as a DTC brand and one-stop shop for small-space living. With her mom, Karen Zuckerman, as her partner, Amanda has grown Dormify to a multi-million-dollar success with triple-digit annual revenue growth, earning a spot on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list in 2018. Following a successful acquisition in 2022, Dormify is now the largest retailer of college dorm and apartment essentials, with nearly 800 college and university partners across the country and a thriving community of student ambassadors. Karen Zuckerman is a serial entrepreneur, creative director, and marketing executive known for taking bold risks and her brand-building expertise. As a graphic designer by trade, she scaled her first business, HZDG, into an award-winning creative agency with Fortune 500 clients, eventually selling it to WPP in 2018 and retiring in 2021. Currently, Zuckerman serves as a board director of Dormify. Zuckerman played a crucial role in developing Dormify's omnichannel marketing strategy and content platform, creating a space for young people to connect and navigate an exciting stage of life.   Interviewed by Kate Doerge.

We have the lovely Amanda Zuckerman from Dormify on The Vibe! Amanda Zuckerman went shopping with her mother to furnish her freshman year dorm room at Washington University in St. Louis in 2009, they went to more than five different stores to find stylish twin XL bedding and other products. “There were a lot of juvenile designs and ‘bed in a bag' solutions that left no room for creative expression,” says Zuckerman, now 29. The Zuckermans realized there wasn't one place to easily find everything needed to make her dorm feel personal and homey, and that it would be easier to shop online. Their frustrating shopping experience would inspire Dormify, now a multimillion-dollar company headquartered in Manhattan. So excited to share this mega babe and Forbes 30 Under 30!

So they created it. Dormify was born! Dormify: your ultimate small space decorating destination What started out as a dorm-focused blog and brand ambassador community has in seven short years become a multi-million-dollar success with triple-digit yearly revenue growth.

Going from store to store with her mom Karen, Amanda had trouble finding Twin XL bedding that fit her personal style, a problem her peers were running into as well. While studying both Graphic Design and Marketing at Washington University in St. Louis, Amanda launched one-stop dorm decor shop, Dormify.com. Flash-forward a few years, and Amanda and her mom Karen have turned their idea into a bonafide small-space decor brand with a cult following.

Amanda Zuckerman is the co-founder and creative director of Dormify, a retail brand that’s reinventing bedding and decor for dorm rooms. When shopping for her freshman year, Amanda realized there wasn't a one-stop-shop for affordable bedding. She pitched the concept of fun, stylish dorm room decor designed and curated specifically for college students to her mom and together they launched Dormify. In this episode, Brian talks with Amanda about practical product iteration, ambassador marketing, and the importance of investing in your team in the early stages of a startup.

Before her freshman year of college, Amanda Zuckerman and her mom Karen were on the hunt for fashionable dorm decor and it took going to an endless amount of stores to finally put together a look that felt like Amanda’s style for her dorm room at WashU. Preparing for college is overwhelming in itself and they found themselves wishing there was just one place that had it all. Say hello to dormify.com. What originally started as a content only blog for dorm decorating advice, blossomed into a one stop shop for all trend driven, yet practical decor items. We hope our online store, active style advisor community, and editorial content inspires you to express yourself through unique and chic small space decor.

The always controversial Amanda Zuckerman joined us tonight for a very special, no holds barred interview.
