Brand2Brand Combat:
We’re announcing a ‘brand’ new feature this week. Using our patented BrandMaster list, we’ll randomly select two brands to go head to head, which will certainly result in some unique pairings, and we’ll hold up each brand to a specific set of criteria.
We’ll start next week, but for this episode, we pit Johnson City against a randomly selected brand from the List: Louis Vuitton
