Accepting the Mystery: Baboon to the Moon Co-Founder Michael Kushner
Episode description
On today's episode, I'm joined by the Co-Founder of Baboon to the Moon, Michael Kushner. We discuss how the up-and-coming travel gear brand is bucking conventional thought in its quest to become a rocket-ship business.
Today, you'll learn:
- Why Michael founded Baboon to the Moon; the inspiration
- Michael's advertising background, and how it carried over into launching a brand; what stayed behind
- How Baboon captures how its consumers ("athletes," as Michael calls them) true acceptances of adventure and mystery with the brand; the lack of influencer use
- How the brand leans into the "experience economy"
- Why Baboon to the Moon bucks all sorts of conventionality in marketing itself; how to balance that with being brand-safe
- Advice to build a more authentic brand
