“We’re expanding the product line from home and electronic accessories to toys. The majority of our customers are adults looking for nostalgia and we want to expand to a much larger children’s market.”
Brett Miller is the CEO and Founder of BRIK, a toy manufacturing company that has been featured on ABC, Wired, Vanity Fair and Oprah Magazine. In 2014, Miller saw an opportunity in creating interactive and fun, creative products that adults could use in professional settings, so he set out to build products that inspire play and encourage the young and the young at heart to interact with their surroundings in a more creative way. Miller crowdfunded the Brik Book (customizable laptop case) in 2015 as an alternative to the boring laptop covers. Thousands of adults from over 60 countries have purchased Brik Books to help express themselves and their interests in professional settings.
Prior to BRIK, Brett built startups in business information, ad technology, and crowdsourced fashion. Miller was also the Director of Product Marketing at Owler where he grew the website userbase by over 1000%.
The Milestone he’s accomplishing in this cohort of Milestone Makers is to launch a child-focused line extension to test its viability against a larger market. Stay tuned here for updates on his progress towards this milestone.
