Honestly, probably every brand I've actually noticed, if it's landed with me, they've done their job. The exception is influencer brands that seem to operate without much moral judgement. I won't name names on that, criticism should be saved for the outright liars. Legacy brands trying to modernise work best through genuine collaboration that builds real creative communities, not by copying influencer tactics that don't fit them, audiences evolve, but authenticity doesn't go out of fashion. Most of the time laziness in branding isn't malice, it's just a failure to think creatively. Storytelling isn't a device you bolt on, it's what actually makes a brand unique.
