Kara Rubin on What US Retailers Actually Want - and Why UK Brands Keep Getting It Wrong
Q: What UK brand do you think is doing US really right now?

Kara Rubin on What US Retailers Actually Want - and Why UK Brands Keep Getting It Wrong

Peanuts & Persistence- The story of ManiLife
Q: What makes a brand of Tomorrow?
The essence lies in obsession with personal connection—brands should feel human, not glossy and distant. ManiLife's approach centers on treating people well and building authentic relationships, ensuring the brand remains personal even as it scales, which Stu argues is the core of what makes a brand of Tomorrow remarkable.
