Turning Ralph Lauren Into A Multimedia Empire
from the it's-a-lifestyle-company dept
An interesting article about how Ralph Lauren Media is trying to create a multimedia empire with the creative vision of Ralph's youngest son, David (who's only claim to fame so far - besides his name - is that he started the failed Swing magazine). What's interesting is that Ralph Lauren Media (despite David's association) is really an entirely seperate company from Ralph Lauren. In essence, Ralph Lauren licensed the name to the media company - just like they've licensed their name to many other products.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
