  • The Psychology of Pricing Power and Brand Equity

    We dive into the counterintuitive economics of why raising prices often strengthens a brand rather than alienating customers. Using Apple as our primary case study, we explore how premium pricing signals quality and builds long-term equity. We also look at the psychological threshold where price becomes a feature, not just a cost. This is episode two hundred of The Brand Strategy Podcast.

  • How Nike Built A Brand From The Inside Out

    Nike didn't start as a global empire; it began with Blue Ribbon Sports and a handshake deal with Bill Bowerman. This episode explores how internal culture, specifically the 'Coach's Club' philosophy, shaped external branding before social media existed. We examine the specific decision to cut ties with Reebok and focus on innovation over distribution, using the Air Jordan launch as a pivotal moment where brand identity aligned with athlete performance.

About The Brand Strategy Podcast with Fexingo: Identity, Positioning, and Long-Term Brand Building

From the publisher's feed

Lucas and Luna dissect the mechanics of brand longevity in this show, where every episode examines one real company's identity and positioning choices through the lens of publicly available financial and consumer data. They avoid marketing fluff, instead tracing how brands like Patagonia, Apple, or LEGO build equity over decades—looking at their visual systems, messaging frameworks, and market reactions to pivots. Lucas often draws from his background in journalism to fact-check claims, while Luna, sketching in her notebook, pushes back with counterexamples from retail or DTC failures. Together, they explore tensions like consistency vs. cultural adaptation, or differentiation vs. category norms. Each episode ends with a specific, actionable question for the listener: What would your brand look like if you stripped away all verbal claims and let only color, shape, and product speak?
