The insolvent German fashion brand Closed GmbH has been saved. The new owners are the Böck entrepreneurial family (owners of Marc O'Polo SE) and experienced fashion manager Dieter Holzer (former Marc O'Polo CEO). The successful acquisition follows Closed's filing for insolvency in August, which the company attributed to "excessive debt and the associated financing costs." Crucially, the brand's headquarters will remain in Hamburg. The new owners will unveil their plans for the premium brand at a press conference on Monday.

𝗣𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘂 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗯𝘂'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 🎮🧸🚗 Pop culture is shifting - so should brand strategy. And the real question is: Are nerds actually cooler than non-nerds? 👀 This might not only be on the minds of Damian Maib and Thomas Derksen from the Made in China Podcast, but also on those of many marketing managers.   Martin Z.H. Zhang is a passionate nerd - and as Global Business Director at Jung von Matt NERD, he's made it his profession. So who better to talk about how to reach these diverse and passionate communities with the right idea?   In the podcast, Martin dives into Asian pop culture, where brands like POP MART are originally from – ready to conquer the global stage. Cosplay is a force of its own and viral content is a must. He shares insights on what the future holds, what it takes to create real emotional value, and why an electric car in a real-sized toy box made headlines at gamescom. 🚘   Curious? You can listen to the episode in German wherever podcasts are available - and even non-nerds will get it, we promise. 💚
