In this episode of Prologue, we sat down with Raoul Reinoso, co-founder of the local basketball specialty brand, Titan. We chatted about his journey from working in publishing to the mobile industry, and from Nike to co-founding Titan in 2010.
Raoul shared how going out of your comfort zone and connecting with different people can help one in his pursuits, and ultimately, in life. In addition, we talked about his experience working with a brand like Nike, and how it became pivotal to his position as a co-owner and Director of Special Projects at Titan. Also, expect to hear his transforming story of how it felt like to work with his dream company but eventually leaving it and gambling on someone else’s idea — 100% believing on his colleague and partner, Dennis Tan’s brainchild, Titan. We also went deep with what they do at Titan, from their brick-and-mortar to e-commerce, and from acquiring Slam Magazine Philippines to building their sports and events management arm, Titan Management Group. Lastly, we also discussed their experience on collaborating with Nike for the exclusive Titan design of the Nike LeBron 16 Low — an incredible full circle, from working for the brand to working with them representing Titan.
From starting with a humble store in Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, with less than 10 people working for the brand, Titan is now around a company of 120 heads working on seven brick-and-mortar stores, an e-commerce platform, magazine, talent management, and a lot more. This is another inspiring and insightful episode of Prologue with one of the significant pillars of Philippine basketball culture.
