What happens when decades of brand storytelling experience collide with AI, digital fragmentation, and a new generation of consumers?

Garth Weber, Chief Brand & Marketing Officer at Duluth Trading Company (https://www.duluthtrading.com/), joins me to unpack why brand still matters more than ever — and how the strongest companies maintain a single strategic point of view while adapting to constantly changing channels.

With over 25 years of experience on both the agency and brand side, including formative years at Nike and Adidas, Garth shares the foundational principles he learned early in his career — and why those same principles still work in today’s AI-powered, creator-driven landscape.

We explore how brands can evolve beyond legacy channels like catalogs, reach younger audiences authentically, and avoid losing coherence while scaling across markets.
