When Brands Differentiate – A View on Bags, Bag Brands, and Brand Differentiation

One of the topics I enjoy researching is brand differentiation. It’s amazing to see how much creativity is put into helping brands stand out amongst their competitors. In order to illustrate the point, the podcast below explores the differences between messenger bags and the rest of the industry, and how four brands have managed to carve out a name for themselves amidst tons of international competition.

One point I’d like to add is that the purpose of this podcast is merely to illustrate how the companies have differentiated between themselves amidst of sea of competitors, and highlighting how they’ve implemented this differentiation across the company and branding.
