Who is the brand?

Notion

 

Who is their audience?

People who want to organise their life digitally and who like customisation.

 

What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

All other planning and note taking platforms are very limited in their customization. Therefore, you are stuck in their templates. Notion gives you the freedom and the tools to create your personalised digital planner.

brand: Oudies

audience: all ages and genders

challenge: Make hoodies at affordable prices in 21 days.

It all started when an influencer called Ouda started a series of videos on TikTok interviewing local brand owners. Ouda started asking questions like are local brands expensive? are we overreacting? then came a comment that started it all, to do his own brand of hoodies. Ouda took the challenge and decided to do his own brand of hoodies "Oudies"  in 21 days at affordable prices for all ages and genders. Ouda helped create the designs and got people to invest in his own brand.  Ouda not only created his own brand in 21 days, but he also became an inspiration to his own peers. Ouda proved that if you put your mind to something and worked hard for it, it will eventually work out for you.
