Doodles have named Pharrel Williams, a renowned rapper and record producer, as its chief brand officer. Julian Holguin, the Doodles CEO, said Williams is key to the project’s growing mainstream push.
At the WebSummit in Lisbon, he highlighted the musician’s impact on the colorful profile picture (PFP) project. Holguin outlined his wide range of artistic output throughout popular culture and his ability to reach various audiences with his work. He believes Williams’s reach is significant from his influence on clothing collaborations to his work on Despicable Me and movie products, to his music.
