I’m a fan of lists. They keep me on track both at home and in the office. And there’s often news and humor when reading listsicles—the short quick hits that fill my social media news feeds every day. As CEO of a marketing company, I think a lot about brands, and wanted to share my list of brands to revere.

I use Bose headphones and speakers. Goes back to high school and college when the cutting-edge audiophiles pumped out bass you felt in your spleen. Today, I’m in awe at such amazing sound coming from remarkably small hardware. They are durable and dependable; and they are well designed to be both comfortable and contemporary.

In 2017 for the second year in a row, Audi was selected by the readers of Consumer Reports as the #1 car brand. "Truth in Engineering” is more than a slogan; their in-car technology is superb. For me, it’s all about the design. Audis are well laid out, with intuitive controls; and given how much time we spend in our cars, that’s important. Moreover, Audi is a driving vs. riding car. Everyday commuting is enhanced by the ride, agility and sound—even the name has a mystique undeniably its own.

Ray Ban first sold its aviator shades in 1936 and except for a few missteps in the 1990s, they have been the avatar of cool ever since. Ray Ban has had starring roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Top Gun, and are worn by celebrities the world over. Why? Again, it comes down to design.

Indian is a brand that has proved impossible to kill, said the Minneapolis Star Tribune after Polaris purchased Indian and subsequently ended production of its own Victory brand. The original Indian, the first American motorcycle manufacturer, created the Scout and Chief cycles here in Massachusetts. Maybe it’s nostalgia that draws me to Indian, or maybe it’s the style—classic lines with a killer engine inside. Or perhaps it’s simply Indian’s back-from-the-dead tenacity.

Lange, known for introducing the first consumer plastic ski boot in 1962, has grown to be synonymous with precision and performance. Design and technology once again play a big part in my love for the brand. All skiers know how critical it is that a ski boot fit well, provide comfort in the cold and perform well from first tracks to last run. That’s why Lange is consistently among the top of recommended lists from both amateurs and professionals alike. Keep your tips up.

Yes, this is a list of brands not bands. And The Who (check out this link to a live “Won’t Get Fooled Again” from ’75) may seem like an odd choice for inclusion, but with two of the band’s founding members long passed, and only one album of new music in the last thirty years, they marked their fiftieth anniversary tour in 2014. The Who continues to tour and sell out venues large and small. Surviving members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are each successful as solo performers, and they have added b-level star power in Zak Starkey, Ringo’s son, as well as Townshend’s brother, Simon. Is it pining for the old songs from Tommy and Quadrophenia? Or is it sheer staying power? Regardless, they are always on my playlists.

Sundance—the film festival, the catalog Park City—has become synonymous with independence and free spirit. Robert Redford started this brand more than 30 years ago, and it has never wavered from its purpose despite explosive growth. Redford welcomes change, telling Fast Company, “Change affects artists. It will create more possibilities, so we just kind of ride with it and that’s our purpose in terms of the brand.” If only we could all embrace change with that certitude and enthusiasm.

So, design again. Fender has been making the Stratocaster the same way for more than 50 years. Leo Fender designed the instrument with and for musicians. It was and is now the preferred guitar of such greats as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck and George Harrison. Fender was the first to use bright colors in guitars, borrowing from a palette used in manufacturing the cars of the day. Like with Lange’s ski boots, Leo Fender put a high premium on comfort and performance, shaping the guitar so that it “feels like one with the player.” And the sound? The “Classic Strat sound” was once described as “clear and bell-like.” Unmistakable.

No matter what you personally thought of Hugh Hefner, you can’t deny that he built Playboy into a powerhouse of a brand that once included television programming and, of course, the celebrated nightclubs. In the early years of the magazine, he had the foresight to put all the profits back into the publication, which has served the corporation well for 60+ years. And laugh all you want at “I get it for the articles,” but Truman Capote, Allen Ginsberg, Arthur Miller, Henry Miller, Isaac Bashevis Singer, William Styron and John Updike all contributed articles and short stories. Very few founders are so closely identified with the brands they built. With Julie Uhrman coming onboard as President of Media, look for Playboy to develop new content partnerships and deepen their streaming offerings.
It’s tough to detail those brand elements that resonate the most with me. In thinking about the above, I’ve learned more about what draws me to them and why. What brands do you love, and equally importantly, what about them strikes you most?
