Brand X: About us »

Welcome to Brand X, your extended forecast for the 21st century.

Brand X is about creating culture 2.0.  It’s lifestyle with a conscience, trading next-generation ideas on technology, entertainment, food, events, volunteering, style and the outdoors. Brand X is a curated shot of shared intelligence about how we live now and how we want to live tomorrow — the next movements in social networking, green-collar jobs andthe return of the kitchen garden; micro-philanthropy, DIY mixology, steampunk in video games; the breakthroughs in science and art that are helping Southern Californians evolve and thrive – and so much more. Plus, it packs all the events listings power of the LA Times – but expanded with strategies for living as global citizens. Global citizens who like to have fun.
