2. OUR STORY
As marketing, production & design professionals that built our collective
experience with youth target brands; The Ronin Network was formed to provide a
service that combined branding experience with sourcing & production
knowledge base. With the addition of design backgrounds, we set out to create
a product sourcing agency which could provide a holistic approach to our client’s
branded product needs.
Armed with that holistic understanding, we developed a nimble process that
is able to provide clients with incredible speed to market. To provide the best
service and value to our clients; we selectively curate whom we work with in order
to leverage the strengths of our network’s backgrounds and experiences to its full
potential for them.
We are Ronin; in feudal Japan, the warrior class of Samurai were sworn to
protect their liege lords with their lives. Those Samurai whose liege was killed, were
to wander the land, looking for work as hired swords. These masterless warriors
were no longer referred to as Samurai. They came to be known as the Ronin.
