Anna Sian (Spotify, VSCO, Staple Pigeon)

Culture Study

Welcome to Culture Study, a podcast documenting the inspiring stories of cultural movers and shakers. On today’s show, we sit down with the brilliant Anna Sian as she shares moments from her childhood in New York City, touches on her experience as a Filipino-American woman and creative professional, and opens up about how she balances the craziness that life has thrown her way. Anna is way too kind and humble to brag so we'll do it for her - she is a talented brand strategist who has led marketing efforts for the likes of VSCO, Staple Pigeon, and the podcasting platform Anchor.
She also co-founded Eddie, an all-female creative agency - and through all of these experiences, she’s been able to collaborate with brands like NikeLab, Jordan, Hypebeast, Opening Ceremony, Shake-Shack, and many more. She’s also partnered on projects with individuals such as fitness model/celebrity Ashley Graham, R&B duo Majid Jordan, singer Aluna George, and of course - the iconic sneaker-head legend Jeff Staple.
Anna’s so talented that even her hobby as a musician turned into a dream - as she joined a band and a few months later hopped on tour with Toro y Moi.
She’s accomplished so much in her career but remains the most genuine and kind hearted individual you’ll ever come across.
