Brewdog’s Business Book has Aged like Milk

Out of Brand
46,880 vistas · 1 mes hace

⁣Released in 2015 Brewdog’s business for punks is worst business book I’ve ever read. Full of vague advice, yet over the top statements. This book lays out what Brewdog did to achieve their early success.

While this was written when Brewdog were at their peak, everything has since gone down hill. And all the advice and business pillars they gave us, was a load of nonsense as they broke all the rules they laid out in this book, and they became the very business they tried to destroy.

Such as their workplace culture and allowing fans to ‘own’ part of the brewery, it all sounded great on paper. But in the end, Brewdog are just massive hypocrites.

⁣What happens when a company with more money than sense trys to be the next EA? Chaos.

The Swedish game publisher, Embracer Group, enlists a new investor to take over the gaming world. But once the deal falls through, it’s followed by a trail of destruction. Leading to the closure of studios like Volition, thousands of layoffs and dozens of projects cancelled (including a new Deus Ex).

Somehow there is a gaming company that's more mismanaged than Ubisoft, and closes more studios than EA

This is very sudden rise, and catastrophic fall of Embracer Group

⁣Following balls up after balls up, Uber attempted a first for the company. That being a full rebrand from top to bottom. Unfortunately, the new app icon, logo and brand was so poorly received it was replaced in less than 3 years. Looking at the company now, you never would of known it ever existed.

But was it really that bad? (yes)

Tech, app, fashion and social media companies have adopted the classic sans serif font for their logos.

So It would seem sans serifs are taking over mainstream brands. But looking even a slightly bit deeper, this really isn’t the case…

Ever since launching McCafe and after Supersize me, Mcdonald's has radically shifted it's branding, messaging, and architecture to appeal to a more mature audience.

As well as following in the footsteps of coffee chains like Starbucks to appeal to a similar audience. And most recently, Mcdonald's has now launched its own sister brand to directly compete with coffee chains.

So how has the brand changed, and how does this new venture compare to Starbucks?

As Ai does everything it can to take our jobs, Ai art has flooded Etsy in the last year or so. With entire stores making 6 figures, and racking up thousands of sales with shoddy, unoriginal artwork made by Ai image generators.

Etsy was once a place that claimed to ‘keep commerce human’. But Ai art and drop shipping has led to Etsy feeling oversaturated and full of outright garbage. You might as we shopping on Amazon, Temu and Wish, as Etsy is now a shadow of its former self.

⁣Ever since the American company Mondelez (Formerly Kraft) bought Cadbury in 2010, the classic brand has seen a steady decline

The classic British brand has suffered through changing recipes to resemble horrendous American chocolate, shrinkflation and bland advertising. Cadbury is now just another cog in a huge corporate machine, and a shell of its former self.

Myths invented by Marketing

⁣Since the 1800s with coffee stunting growth and the early 1900s with health claims around orange juice, making stuff up in marketing has been a fairly common strategy. Going far beyond just embellishing the truth, some brands will outright lie.

These include the claim that Alpecin shampoo can prevent hair loss, drinking 8 glasses of water, Sunny Delight being made with real fruit juice, and the origins of the now ubiquitous 10k steps a day.

Here are 5 (or 6) examples of myths invented by marketing.

In less than 10 years, Castore has managed to become the supplier for a number of Premier League and European teams, as well as supplying England, the West Indies and South Africa in international cricket.

But in a few seasons, Castore has been holding a masterclass on how to lose all their Premier League contracts. Suffering from horrendous quality control while struggling to fulfil orders. Even with these issues, Castore recently hit a near £1 billion valuation. Despite losing their contract with Aston Villa a few months later

How the Temple Bar Pub became a Tourist Trap

⁣With Christmas upon us, Dublin most famous pub is covered in Christmas lights and festive decorations. While the Temple Bar Pub may look great on social media, the actually experience of visiting this pub is overrated, overcrowded and overpriced with pints setting you back over 10 euros.

A combination of branding, social media, SEO and good timing are likely responsible for the pub's popularity. As now this quaint Irish pub has become a tourist trap within a tourist trap, and another item to tick off your bucket list.

WHSmith and How Not to Rebrand

⁣In May 2026, TGJones (formerly WHSmith) will be closing 150 high street shops. It’s sad yet predictable news for the struggling high street chain.

Since the rebrand in 2025, WHSmith’s new name has not gone down well with the general public. The shops still feel dated and there’s so much product confusion it's difficult to know where to start.

Along with Royal Mail’s name change to Consignia, Weightwatchers becoming WW, and Warner Brothers not knowing what to call their HBO streaming service, this is a prime example of how to rebrand. Especially when you have the history dating back to the late 1700s.

Thank your to @Larry Bundy Jr for the tip regarding Consignia

Aldi has built a billion-dollar business by selling products that look surprisingly familiar. From packaging and branding to store layouts, how close can a supermarket get to the competition without crossing the legal line?

In this video, we explore how Aldi uses "lookalike" products, why it's sparked lawsuits around the world, and the clever legal strategies that let the company keep doing it—most of the time.

⁣Have you ever been to the another country and seen the same logo with a very different name. Or cars that look very familiar, but have a completely different badge. It’s as if you’ve accidentally stepped into another dimension

There are plenty of examples such as Lynx and Axe, Galaxy and Dove, Vauxhall and Opel, and Burger King and the Australian counterpart Hungry Jack’s.

In one weird case, there are dozens of ice creams brands that have been using the exact same logo since the 1990s. But with a different name tailored to another country.
