Magazine B – Issue 48: Airbnb

Magazine B is an ad-less monthly publication that introduces one well-balanced brand unearthed from around the globe in each issue. between its covers, Magazine B not only shares untold stories behind the brand but also its sentiment and culture that any readers interested in brand marketing and management can leaf through with ease.

Started as a means to afford the ever-soaring rent, Airbnb has grown into a wunderkind of the sharing economy with more than 2,000,000 listings in more than 34,000 cities. With a valuation of $25.5B, Airbnb has become as valuable as hotel giants Hilton and Marriott.
