  • Do Brands Matter? A Contrasting View from the UK

    Some people have favourite brands. There are the infamous “Disney adults” who swear up and down to the House of Mouse, there are the weirdo “Tesla bros”, in the UK there is not as much of a culture around brands as far as I have seen. I could be completely wrong but it seems to me that unlike back home in America “brand fever” is less prevalent here. Everyone just uses whatever fits their needs and moves on; which is the way it should be. I cannot fathom having loyalty as a consumer to a product brand, it is pure dystopian nightmare fuel to me when I see people lining up out the door to buy products on release day such as Pokémon cards, or people who brag about only buying Apple products.

    This is just my old man perspective I guess.
