At launch, companies generally take one of two paths when it comes to defining their portfolio structure. In the more basic framework, known as a branded house, the product shares a name and ethos with the company brand creating an inherent link between the two. Over time, as new products rollout, they follow suit and...

I spent so much of my time studying the things around me to become a better artist. The difference between good and great pieces comes down to the artist’s own choice in...

And while we’re all somewhat fatigued with the notion of “unprecedented”, it’s our reality. Many brands have questions about how best to engage with today’s market and what steps they...
Some normal, everyday tasks like going to the grocery store or shopping for a new pair of shoes have become serious, anxiety-provoking ordeals due to the coronavirus pandemic. But for many, there’s one task that is dreaded more than any other: one that strikes fear in the eyes—and mouths—of many: going to the dentist. And...
“A lifestyle brand is a conversation that happens at specific points in a consumer’s life. Forget the aesthetics or aspirations. Those are mere tactics.
