Updates from Zeen

Important information on changes coming soon to Zeen.

Firstly and most importantly, our hearts are with LA. To our community there, we hope you and yours are staying safe. We are praying for the end to this nightmare and the strength to rebuild. If we can do anything to support you, please know we’re just a phone call away.

We want to use this week’s email to let everyone know about upcoming changes to Zeen.

At the end of January, Zeen is transitioning from a social platform to a creator tool. Think of Zeen in 2025 like Canva for products!

  • What’s leaving? You will no longer have subscribers on Zeen or be able to subscribe to other creators’ Zeens. We’ll also be removing the SMS notifications.

  • What’s staying? You will still be able to import products, create in the Studio, access and share your profile, and export your Zeens (including download, Substack caption, copy URL) wherever your community exists. 

  • Why? We’ve learnt a TON since Zeen launched from hundreds of creator conversations (including with you!), as well as data on how people are using Zeen. It is clear that the core value and usage of Zeen lies in our creative studio - making it 10x easier than Canva to import products with links, create a collage, and export to your community on other social platforms. As a small team of only 7 people, we have to make tough decisions on where to prioritize our resources. Whilst our vision remains to build Zeen into a social platform in the long term, right now we’re focused on building the best possible tool for creating collages of linked products, wherever you want to share them.

As our founding creator community, you have played a huge role in our rapid pace of learning and iteration over the last few months. We’re endlessly grateful for the time you’ve taken to share ideas, feedback, Zeens, and musings with us. We hope you see that reflected in these updates.

What’s next? We’ll keep you updated as the timing of the transition solidifies. As always, any questions and feedback are welcomed.

Sending lots of love -

Katherine, Miri and Team Zeen
