Today I have some important news for you!

At the end of June, SCHMOOZY FOX will be celebrating one year of its Funky Brand Interviews.  And in this respect, we have some great gifts to offer to those who want to build a funky brand!

Last June, an interview with Rowan Gormley, CEO of Naked Wines, a UK-based online wine retailer, marked the start of the new category on our blog, Funky Brand Interviews. Since then, SCHMOOZY FOX has published interviews with founders and top managers from such famous brands as Marlies Dekkers, Baileys, Tim Van Steenbergen, Theo , Biomega and others.

Today, we’re announcing a call for up-and-coming funky brands!

If you know talented and passionate entrepreneurs setting up an innovative brand, please spread the news to them!

Rules of the game

Very simple! All that we require is:

That you are a start-up, either just launched, or seeking market entry
That you want to build a very successful brand to fall in love with

That your main industry is Consumer Goods or Services, particularly in the “affordable luxury” segment

Our prize

SCHMOOZY FOX will identify three semi-finalists, all of whom will be interviewed for our blog. Out of the three interviewees, we will select 1 finalist, who will also receive a:

Originally from Latvia, a small country near the Baltic Sea, I’ve lived in many countries and managed to pick up several languages along the way. Now I am living in Brussels, Belgium, where I founded SCHMOOZY FOX.

My main activity is brand and marketing strategy consulting. For my professional credentials and references, visit my LinkedIn profile.
