“We are honored to be one of Fast Company’s inaugural Brands That Matter, and we’re proud to be recognized by them for a second time in 2021,” says NTWRK CMO Jason Brown. “NTWRK has seen enormous growth this year, launching innovative partnerships with world-renowned brands and creators and launching programs that resonate with our audiences. We’re excited about what we’ve achieved and Fast Company’s acknowledgment is truly validating our work.”
Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company says: “At a time when consumers are holding companies to very high standards, businesses have much to learn from these brands that have garnered respect and trust.”
The exclusive list highlights 95 brands that have found an ability to forge an emotional connection with customers, whether leading on the environment or pop culture, engaging B2B customers, or responding meaningfully to current events.
Fast Company’s Brands That Matter is the latest accolade for NTWRK in a remarkable year. Other honors include:
“America’s Hottest Brands” – Ad Age

Recently, NTWRK raised $50M led by the Growth Equity business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management (Goldman Sachs), and global luxury group Kering, including participation from LionTree Partners and Tenere Capital. They join previous investors Main Street Advisors (whose investors include Jimmy Iovine, Drake, LeBron James), Live Nation, Foot Locker, and others to further accelerate NTWRK’s growth, market share, and global footprint.
Throughout 2021, NTWRK has been making waves with its virtual shopping festivals (which Cheddar calls “the future of e-commerce”) including Unboxed (toys and collectibles), Off Court (basketball), Family Style To-Go (food), Staple Day 21 (STAPLE products), Sneakercon (sneakers), Open House (luxury home goods), TRANSFER (culture & design), Five Points Fest (designer toys & indie comics), Footycon (soccer) and BEYOND THE STREETS 2021 (art).
