The founders of Lume Cube noticed that the camera industry was constantly producing smaller, high-quality devices like the GoPro and smartphones with 4K video–but that lighting wasn’t following that trend. There was a gap in the market for small, portable, user-friendly lights at an affordable price. In 2014, with funding through a successful Kickstarter campaign, the San Diego brand Lume Cube was born.
Lume Cube’s mission is to produce compact, portable and durable lighting for video, photography, and video conferences. Their products are now sold in 35 countries–and on the shelves of every Apple Store in the world. Today, they’ve sold hundreds of thousands of products to creatives, creators, and business professionals worldwide.
A system of partnering with authentic creators
Because of the number of inbound requests Lume Cube was receiving from potential ambassadors, it was crucial that they were able to properly vet each creator. Was this person creating content out of genuine passion? Were they truly in alignment with the Lume Cube lifestyle? It was clear that when pursuing relationships with big creators, some form of automation was needed to scale the program.
