Why is GOT7 Jackson So Successful in Business? His Partnerships, Entrepreneurial Ventures, and More
Rising to stardom as a member of GOT7, Jackson Wang has been at the top of his game in 2023, pursuing his 'Magic Man' solo tour, making history at Coachella, and headlining the Head in the Clouds festival in LA.
But while most casual listeners know Jackson for his irresistible charm and magnetic stage presence, a close look at his business ventures and partnerships reveals a man with an unparalleled drive. Amid his thriving music career, Jackson has channeled his creativity and passion into brand ambassadorships and his fashion label, TEAM WANG design.
Read on to learn more about the star's business success and work philosophy.
Iconic global partnerships and entrepreneurial ventures
Jackson's dedication to individuality and style has made him the fashion world's most sought-after idol. Teaming up with some of the biggest brands, he has frequently served as an ambassador and a collaborator.
Brand ambassadorship
Earlier this year, Jackson was announced as Louis Vuitton's brand ambassador. He quickly took up his duties, donning a custom look designed for him by the brand and shining at the Met Gala red carpet alongside fellow Hallyu stars Song Hye Kyo and BLACKPINK Jennie.
But Jackson isn't new to high fashion. 2019 saw a flurry of activity as he partnered with several world-renowned brands. He became the face of Armani Beauty's perfume line and Cartier's Juste Un Clou jewelry line and participated in Ray-Ban's global #ProudtoBelong campaign. At this time, Jackson and his fellow GOT7 were also ambassadors for Adidas.
However, perhaps most significant is Jackson's relationship with the global luxury brand Fendi. After releasing his 2018 single "Fendiman" and being appointed as the brand's ambassador in China in 2019, he was described by Fendi as "unique, talented, [daring] to innovate" and "perfectly connected to Fendi's spirit."
TEAM WANG design partnerships
Jackson's vision shines the most as the creative director and designer of TEAM WANG. Seeking to universalize style, the brand's signature black and white streetwear mirrors Jackson's belief in exploring limitless possibilities with fashion.
By revisiting older partnerships with TEAM WANG, the star has also proven himself a real asset. The first time Jackson paired up with Ray-Ban, he described the brand as "pioneering with counterculture stylishness and technical innovation." He carries this spirit into their collaboration, from which they produced the Aviator X Team Wang, Jackson's own take on the brand's iconic sunglasses. Still available today, these frames feature three unique color combinations and are engraved with Jackson's signature. TEAM WANG has also adopted versatility through collaborations with WANT WANT Group, Palm Angels, and even Claude Monet's estate.
Jackson's work philosophy
As a record-breaking figure in the global music industry, you would wonder how Jackson sustains active participation in the fashion scene. But a strong work ethic seems ingrained into his system.
In a 2021 interview with Vogue UK to promote TEAM WANG's 'The Velvet' line, Jackson described his natural affinity for working: "It's non-stop for me. I work round the clock, and it's something I'm used to." He is further driven by his curiosity. "I love that you can be creative and that there are no boundaries," he said. Despite TEAM WANG's conception at the height of global lockdowns, Jackson's pursuit of freedom broke barriers to establish a truly global brand.
Few stars are as relentless in pursuing self-improvement and global expansion as Jackson Wang. Always with his beliefs and enthusiasm at the forefront, his creative vision has propelled him into global status as an ambassador and an entrepreneur.
