Think about some of the most of-the-moment companies—the ones we label “challenger brands.” Praised for shaking up entire categories, they’re changing the way traditional brand marketers think about their businesses and transforming the way people shop. Beyond the Caspers and the Warby Parkers of the world—though, don’t forget those names just yet—new companies like Hims, Everlane, Brandless, Allbirds and Otherland are taking over our Instagram feeds and winning new customers.

These names may not be familiar yet, but they’re quickly becoming beloved brands with cult followings, especially among younger generations.
