Star Wars is an American sci-fi franchise and logo designer Ian Paget's favourite brand. Ian's been feeling the force since he first saw C-3PO on a VHS sleeve as a child. While developing his career as a logo designer, he has come to realise that these are more than films. Star Wars, he suggests, is a primal brand that can teach entrepreneurs how to build a lasting following.

Case studies in brand loyalty, equipping you to better connect with your audience. In each episode, a top guest picks their favourite brand. I then invite them to unpack why it means so much. As they share, we gain invaluable insights into what makes audiences tick. Not with strategy or theory, but through that undeniable proof of successful branding: emotion.

I'm Sam. I love Jesus and design.

Marshall is a British amplification company and designer Radim Malinic's favourite brand. A wall of Marshall speakers at a Motörhead gig changed everything for a 90s teenager called Radim. He'd never heard anything like it. As he grew up, this sound soulfully wove its way into his own creativity. This is a love letter to a brand that's a million miles from the boardroom.

Thankyou is an Australian social enterprise and strategist Levina Kusumadjaja's favourite brand. Ending extreme poverty by selling personal care and cleaning products? Impossible. But that's exactly what Thankyou have set out to do. In the process, they have faced giants of global capitalism and brought devoted supporters into their ranks. Levina is one of them. This is her love letter to a fearless brand looking inequality square in the eye.
