Building One Of The Fastest Growing Fashion Brands - with Stacey Woods of OOOG Brand

In this episode I'm joined by Stacey Woods, Creative Director at OOOG Brand. As a fashion company, OOOG Brand has connected with a lifestyle in such a way that it defines their business. They have in fact developed an extremely strong bond between the brand and a particular sub culture of society. They've  achieved this because OOOG Brand understands that being a true lifestyle brand means that the company has a true pulse on the needs and wants of the customers.
