About
Nomad Forum project
Our project is a platform for discussing branding, brands, and their evolution through the lens of cultural traditions. It explores the roots of modern brands, their connection to historical and national identities, and how past traditions continue to shape successful brands and strategies today.
The Nomad Forum podcast and our annual events provide an opportunity to examine how cultural heritage influences image building, branding, and business development in a global context.
