brandihan
gawa-gawang salita, ang paggawa o pag-uusap patungkol sa pagba-brand kasama ang mga ibang tao
a made-up word, the act of doing or discussing branding, ideally with multiple people
We are Brandihan, a design blog that focuses on following corporate and brand identity in the Philippines.
Brandihan covers a multitude of topics involving marketing, design, and branding; both in concept and in the real world. We hope to bring a lot of discussion and analysis forward into the branding world; not just for experts and insiders, but also how branding gets seen and interpreted by everyone— from brand junkies down to the everyday person.

Rollout
This is branding in the real world. Updates to how branding is implemented and how people react to certain branding or marketing decisions.
Our Takes
