For the Culture: How some brands become bigger than what they sell

​The strongest brands eventually become bigger than the products they sell. A logo becomes a symbol. A customer becomes a participant. A shop becomes a meeting place. And somewhere along the way, a business develops a point of view people want to carry into the world.

In conversation with Shane Gillen - Jeff Staple (STAPLE), Daphne Seybold (Sky High Farm Goods), Alfré Snower (Le Alfré) will discuss what founders can build around a product that competitors cannot simply copy. From storytelling to physical spaces, collaboration, and conviction, this panel will explore how a distinct point of view becomes culture, how to scale without sanding off what made a brand interesting, and what it takes to build relevance that survives the next trend, platform or product cycle.
