Why the Name "Branded WOR(L)DS"?
The title is a deliberate play on words:
• "Branded Worlds" represents the global universe of branding, design, and communication.
• "Branded Words" (with the parenthetical L) underlines the role of language, story, and meaning in branding.
This duality reflects the core of the podcast: where products meet purpose, and messages shape markets.
