Leadership History

Society6 (Society6, LLC, an operating division of Leaf Group Ltd.) is a groundbreaking digital oasis where independent artistic talent meets modern interior design and global e-commerce. Founded in 2009 in Santa Monica, California, by digital creatives Justin Cooper, Justin Brotherton, and Lucas Kelly, the platform was conceived out of a deeply personal frustration: witnessing brilliant fine artists and illustrators struggle to exhibit their work in elite, gatekept traditional art galleries while having no viable means to mass-manufacture high-quality prints without prohibitive upfront capital. Cooper and his co-founders pioneered a digital print-on-demand architecture that allowed any artist on earth to upload high-resolution artwork, immediately rendering it across dozens of photorealistic digital product mockups—from gallery-wrapped canvas and fine art prints to woven rugs, throw blankets, phone cases, and furniture. Acquired in 2013 by Leaf Group (formerly Demand Media) and later integrated into Graham Holdings Company, Society6 has blossomed into a global creative community of more than 450,000 independent artists representing 160+ countries, paying tens of millions of dollars in direct royalties while furnishing millions of stylish apartments, homes, and creative offices worldwide.
Society6 operates a two-sided print-on-demand e-commerce marketplace monetization model: consumers purchase curated home decor, wall art, tech cases, and apparel online; Society6 fulfills orders on demand via regional manufacturing and printing partners, retaining the retail fulfillment margin while disbursing creator royalties and markups directly to independent contributing artists.
Society6 navigates rising online customer acquisition costs (CAC) across Meta and Google advertising channels, competition from mass-market print-on-demand platforms like Redbubble and Printify, and balancing artist earnings split satisfaction following tier-based fee adjustments.
Sean Moriarty currently leads Society6, overseeing strategic vision, balance sheet health, and organizational execution in E-Commerce, Print-on-Demand Marketplace, Independent Artist Community & Home Decor.
Under executive direction, Society6 is prioritizing workflow automation alongside disciplined capital allocation to maximize shareholder value.
Leadership at Society6 has historically navigated industry cycles by restructuring operational priorities and expanding competitive moats.
