The Story of a Brand


Apr 27, 2021

**This episode is brought to you by ATTN Agency, Forum Brands, and Repeat**

 

Not just any ordinary sticker but textured sensory adhesives- that's what Calm Strips delivers to its customers. In the first part of this feature, we have Michael Malkin - founder of Calm Strips, a brand that helps you reduce fidgeting, regulate restless energy, and increase focus.

Michael worked at Apple for 13 years, but he left in 2020. He wanted to start something of his own, so he decided to launch his own brand. Today he will tell the story behind the brand.

From composing a comic book to running a cookie business, Michael shares his experiences.

In part 1, we addressed these topics: The support he is grateful for; Overview of the brand; Where he was before; Why he started this company; His experience with Apple; Story of his comic book and cookie business; What he did before launching Calm Strips; What reactions they received during the pandemic; and so much more.

Join Ramon Vela and Michael as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.
