Do We Need “ANOTHER" Podcast? NO. 

But We Do Need is Something Different Like This: 👇🏼

BRANDED WOR(L)DS, A Transatlantic Dialogue hosts conversations at the intersection of branding, culture, and sustainability – hosted by two seasoned industry insiders: Jeff Solomon (USA), Co-Founder of the Branded Merch Network, and Steven Baumgaertner (Europe), CEO of Cybergroup International. Each episode explores how brands are tackling today’s environmental, social, and cultural challenges—with real case studies, sharp commentary, and an unshakable focus on authenticity.

The first guest was Drew Holmgreen, CEO of PPAI, recorded from a forest in Brussels, Belgium, at the International Leadership Summit facilitated by PPAI and EAC, the European Association Cooperation.

You can watch the first episode here.

Short, Engaging, Sharable Videos are Here

The truth is, the overwhelming majority of supplier videos weren’t made with your clients in mind! That’s why we created the Merch Media Lab: a growing library of clean, short, unbranded videos that are ready to share and actually useful for your buyers. No more clunky edits or chasing down assets. Just scroll, grab, post, and look like a total content boss.

We’re building as we go and leveling up every month.
