Favorite Brands

Nike
Often a great brand is about a brand promise, and there’s little that’s more iconic than the Nike slogan and the Nike logo. But my appreciation for Nike is in how they’ve built branding and marketing into everything that they do. Nike dominates the marathon running space with their signature Nike Vaporfly shoes, and their marketing is brilliant. Not only are the shoes obsessively designed and objectively better, but they’re also pink (so they get talked about), and Nike has used them as the foundation for a PR campaign to break the marathon world record. Brilliant.
Garmin
Garmin used to be known for the GPS device that got replaced when the iPhone became popular enough and powerful enough to bring GPS to your pocket. But the company has evolved its purpose and its brand identity to bring high performance devices to a very niche group. Lesser companies would have gone bankrupt trying to hold onto their old identity.
