Hi all,
I’mmmm baaacckkk, with another edition of “Have you heard
of…?” Remember last week, when we all met the first brand competing for Word of
Mouth’s first ad space competition; well today I bring you Captain Greedi, the second brand in the competition. As I perused
the Captain Greedi site, the first thing I saw was a yacht next to the logo, my
reaction? Ummm, it went something like, “I’m on a boat! I’m on a boat! Everybody look at me…” Just kidding, but it
definitely set a precedent for a unique trip through the site that included
many insights into what goes on behind the scenes and in the daily development
of this brand. So without further a due, I bring you a new edition of “Have you
heard of…?” where I am pleased to introduce you all to Jonathan and his Dallas
based brand, Captain Greedi.
First off, introduce yourself and tell me about your
brand…
brand…
It looks like wealth is an influential factor present in Captain
Greedi, what was the inspiration behind your brand name?
SUCCESS and enjoying the
benefits behind hard work. I look at Captain Greedi as being a stamp of
approval. It's a platform for people to stand on and say that anything they
dream of or work hard for is possible. It will all pay off in due time.
As an entrepreneur, what made you decide to create a brand of
shirts?
Being a photographer and
a creative person, I wanted to be able to give a piece of art and pass a
message, these aren't just your everyday tees :) lol
On your site you have a “Look Book,” what made you decide to
include this on your site and how does it tie in with your brand?
It's meant to showcase individuals
hard at work doing what makes them happy and taking care of business in their
everyday job/hobby to reach success.
In your experience, what has been the most challenging thing
about creating and selling your shirts?
Right now the most
challenging thing is just getting the word out....you know "word of
mouth", (no pun-intended) lol. There's still a whole world of people that
have no idea of Captain Greedi...we are working on making that number smaller,
I'm sure there are more challenges along the way that we are prepared to
experience.
“MONE Y, MONEY, MONEY, MUHH-NNAAYY” is a common theme I’ve
noticed in your shirts, my favorite being the “Swim Good” tee (wink), when
designing a shirt what other things inspire or influence you?
Again success!...Success
is not just meaning a level of wealth, but it could be compared to the path of
any great challenge. It's not just money but the feeling of accomplishing a set
goal after putting in the necessary work.
What do you think separates Captain Greedi from other brands?
It's
the message and lifestyle that’s attached to the brand that makes it different
than any other.
What is the ultimate goal you have for your brand?
TV Superbowl commercial!
LoL... Just kidding. To be an established brand that anyone can enjoy for years
to come.
If you could go back in time and invent something that people use
every day, what would it be? (Mine would be GOOGLE!)
I would have to say
Apple Products!
If Pfizer asked you to create a magic pill, using one thing about
yourself, that everyone would want, what would it be? (Go ahead and brag, I
don’t mind)
Being persistent and
going after what I believe in. At the end of the day, it's all about doing what
we love. And I have always been all about just that... doing what I love.
Persistence is the only way we get things done!
If you could choose one celebrity to endorse and wear your brand,
who would it be and why?
A lot of people don't
like him but I would have to say Kanye West. I'm a fan of his art and the way
he expresses himself fashionably.
Name three of your all time favorite cartoon characters and why
they are your favorites.
Popeye, Mighty
Mouse, and Uncle Scrooge.
I liked the three
because of the stories that were behind them. They all got through situations
that didn't hold them back.
What are some of your favorite Indie brands?
That's hard to say cause
there's so many. They're all different in their own way.
Now for a round
