HQ Function

Historically, the Oakland office housed core operations including product development, engineering, editorial (Bandcamp Daily), artist and label relations, and community support.

Notable Features:

The Oakland office was known for its unpretentious, music-centric environment, often featuring local art and a comfortable atmosphere conducive to its mission rather than corporate extravagance.

Work Culture:

Bandcamp's culture has been characterized as mission-driven, deeply supportive of independent artists, and collaborative. Recent years saw employees unionize as Bandcamp United. The culture is evolving under new ownership by Songtradr.

HQ Significance:

The Oakland headquarters was significant as the birthplace and operational center of Bandcamp's unique artist-first platform, shaping its identity in the digital music landscape.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters reflected values of community, authenticity, and a focus on music and artists, rather than corporate opulence.

Location:

Bandcamp operates as a global platform, accessible to artists, labels, and fans worldwide. It supports multiple currencies and languages for transactions and user interface elements. 'Bandcamp Daily' features music from across the globe, highlighting diverse international scenes. The platform's services enable artists from any country to sell their music and merchandise to a global audience, fostering an international community of independent music creators and consumers. Post-acquisition by Songtradr, this global reach is further supported by Songtradr's international office network and resources.
