Does the world really need another blog about technology and branding? Actually, I couldn’t find any. Hence the creation of GigaBrand. As President of RiechesBaird, a B2B brand development firm, it’s my aim to share best practices, create debate and provide insights about the unique aspects of branding for technology companies.

I wanted to create a place where anyone interested in technology, strategy, marketing and branding could converse, learn, debate and share what it takes to build successful brands. I’ll present you with the good, bad and ugly in a quest to improve the way technology companies communicate.
