"If your brand has a story, it becomes a lot more interesting and engaging. It also becomes much easier to create interesting concepts from that position compared to a brand that is somewhere in the middle."

This podcast also includes the personal story of founder Gijsbregt Vijn who answered the questions: How can a story make you more exciting and engaging as a brand? And what is the best way to creatively come up with new and fascinating concepts?

Sharing their insights from both drop shipping, reselling as well as designing and actually creating products themselves. Simultaneously helping to answer the question: how E-Commerce will play a role in the future of business? And whether a hybrid version of on- and offline retail could become the new normal?
