    I’ve never been there, nor am I interested in going there (and I live nowhere close anyway), but I’m okay with the marketing fitting the product. If their wait staff is rude, their marketing being rude sets the appropriate expectations, and I’d probably recommend them to anyone who may be interested.

    But that’s quite different from what dbrand offers. Dbrand sells skins, cases, and other related products, so their marketing should focus on their products. Maybe if their skins were largely meta in nature (e.g. they sold pictures with Linus’ face and a big cross through it), I could understand it a bit. But their website doesn’t match their social media presence.

    If a company’s branding isn’t consistent, what does that say about their products and product direction? So no, I’ll look for a company I find more consistent and reputable. I don’t buy products based on hype.

      What says about them is market performance. Year over year growth for the past 3 years, 60th in top ecommerce sites for electronic-related domain.

      We can judge all we want by their approach, but their performance numbers don’t reflect your theory. Perhaps you’re not their target demographic, and that’s ok.

        Yup, I’m definitely not their target demographic, device as my point. I’m not saying you or anyone else shouldn’t buy their products based on their marketing, only that it repels me as a customer.

      Go look at the dbrand website. The marketing is all over the top asshole type marketing and it pokes fun at a ton of shit.
