2X eCommerce Podcast

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Fred Hart, Partner and Creative Director of Interact Brands, a branding agency scaling challenger brands up from digital into retail environments. 

 

Fred got into design at a very young age after sketching shoe designs and sending them to Adidas. While young, turning down Adidas, this opportunity missed led him to a bigger one and building his own branding agency. Growing up in a place of a cultural melting pot, Fred developed his design philosophies by being exposed to different people.

 

Interact Brands is breaking through conformity through their designs, and more than that, their regard for their partners as well as their consumers. They highly value research and have dedicated teams researching consumers' wants and needs. As Fred stated, “What isn’t seen isn’t sold.”

 

In this episode, Kunle and Fred talk about designing and branding. You will get to hear about Fred’s design philosophies that led their partner brands to increase in revenue as well as being sustainable. This is a great episode for business owners and marketers of CPG brands trying to go into retail.
