On Episode 15 of the BRITE Ideas podcast, Matt and JP spoke with Leland Maschmeyer and Brian Collins, co-founders (and CEO and CCO respectively) of COLLINS. The pair dive deeply into the necessity of uniting business models, consumer behaviors and attitudes, and strategic foresight with design to effectively communicate the now and future vision of any brand. In particular, they highlight the value of building a great product from which all the value-based and brand identity considerations can then follow. They also highlight the need for global businesses to focus on regenerative practices to balance the inevitable tensions between growth and environmental and social sustainability.
