Today we’d like to introduce you to Jackie Sorkin.
Hi Jackie, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I watched Willy Wonka at six years old and fell in love with the story, message and meaning. Candy was the catalyst to unlocking my creativity and exploring my love of creating candy art. Candy is this beautiful, universal thing that makes everyone happy. That is what I LOVED about the power of candy.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My road has been anything but smooth.
As any true creative or entrepreneur knows, dreaming big can be immensely challenging but the relentless pursuit is also an important part of the journey.
We’ve taken many risks and we have always seen the impact of what we do and its power to make people so very happy.
That’s why I keep going. I am very clear on my purpose and that is all I focus on. I am working with the right people and the right partners who greatly contribute to our ability to continue building, growing, and creating this very special brand and company. Long Live The Candy Kingdom!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m an artist and many consider me and my team Global candy artists. Our art has been featured around the world and enjoyed by millions of guests. Candy is our artistic medium, it is the most joyful medium I could ever imagine working with in addition to being so delicious.
We create incredible immersive special events, pop-ups, television shows & unique experiences all centered around CANDY! (Catch our NEW Hulu Show Candified Streaming NOW for the Holidays)
I would consider myself an artist, entrepreneur and a consummate creative. I am in the pursuit of creating outrageous moments of joy for the world to enjoy.
The road to getting there is complex at times but the goal is so simple. JOY.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
I am proudest of my grit, faith and my ability to keep going. Our culture is of the utmost of importance to me. I take care of our team and they take care of me. We have traveled the world together spreading our love of art, candy & pop culture in a way that brings people together and we will continue to do so for as long as possible.
