Another football club has an off-field clothing partnership: FC Bayern Munich and Replay ink deal
FC Bayern Munich signed a deal with Replay, making the brand their official denim and formalwear provider. I previously wrote about the relationships that PSG and AC Milan have with Dior and Moncler respectively. But this is clearly very different. Replay clothing retails for essentially hundreds of dollars below the price of the two luxury…

I have no idea what success looks like
No one. I can literally think of no one. I’m sitting here trying to figure out an image of what a successful person looks like. I have got nothing. My instant response to that was to assume it was because I am without ambition or a clear vision for my life. The level headed part…

Have you ever heard of Cellcosmet Switzerland?
I have a problem, well multiple problems really. I am overly curious when it comes to skincare. That skincare tends to be expensive luxury skincare. And I only have one face and a limited budget. That said, I can’t try everything I am interested in, but I am intrigued by the offerings from Cellcosmet Switzerland.…

A quick way to think about who your competitors are
I have been focused on competitors this week. Maybe I should explain the concept in the marketing sense. Your competitors are those other brands and businesses who are doing similar things to you. They are in the same product category and could very easily take the same people you want as customers. That is the…

Wait, who are Nike’s competitors? The list is longer than you might think
If you read my previous post, you’ll know that I called out people in my circle who are convinced tha Nike has no competitors. Or that Adidas is their only real competitor. I was harsh and called them foolish, but I stand by that. This is a quote from Phil Knight. It is taken from…

Contrary to popular belief, Nike does have competitors
“Trust me, Nike isn’t worried about [Under Armour/Lululemon/Athleta/any other athletic brand other than Adidas]” I hear that phrase all too often. A regular person who doesn’t work for the brand will declare that Nike doesn’t have any competitors. They are too big. They are too successful. The small brands aren’t even on their radar. When…
