News broke this week that the board of directors of The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. is ousting its founder and president, George Zimmer. For several decades, Men’s Wearhouse has been a great brand with terrific advertising.
Here is why Men’s Wearhouse is a great brand:
- a simple, but creative name
- a play on words (warehouse vs. “wearhouse”)
- catchy slogans:
