Episode Synopsis

Who actually decides when a nickname sticks, the brand or the people using it? Think about how Kleenex, Band-Aid, and Coke became everyday words… or how PBR, Jäger, and FedEx turned into shorthand without anyone asking permission. So why do some nicknames catch fire while others die on the vine? Is it repetition, authority, timing, or dumb luck? Henry Young, the founder and CEO of Avari Research, joins Ian Hoch to talk about the phenomenon.
