Might be easier to name the ones who are doing it " right "  . There are alot of companies / riders who basically just coast along .
And theres alot of companies Im quite puzzled by how they are still in business ( Not that I want them to close )

Almost. I haven't seen one in the wild in years, their graphics are pretty lame (excluding the super hero ones, sometimes those are decent.), and I don't even know who is still on their team. Last ad I saw from them was that gimmicky "Double Impact" shit they were running a while back.

I love Real, but their team, reputation, and quality is all they have. Their "image" and graphics are total shit and for a company held in as high regard as they are, that's weird.

Nike...what Nike is doing is creating super diverse teams with no culture. All traditional skate brands have a culture and Nike has no culture except their bullshit corporate culture. Maybe when Jordan was in his heyday Nike had some of his culture but the NBA was gangster as fuck back then. They have great shoes and whatever but I don't like how there is nothing to identify with the brand other than being a world domination shit for decades. I can't get into any Nike marketing but I have skated their shoes for many years and would again so whatever haha.

Not entirely relevant, but can you believe that Consolidated and Natural Koncept are still going? I mean they've both always been kind of underground companies, but holy crap, how does NK stay in business?

Also, they've got a damn great team, but Jart has such a horrible aesthetic. The worst music in their videos (I think they might actually occasionally ignore their skater's song requests), basically no graphics other than logo boards in different colours. Heard a rumour that it's not owned by anyone interested in skateboarding at all, maybe a surf company or something, and it made sense to me. The only feel I get from their company is "corporate".

Real make great boards and have a stacked team, but they're also guilty of too many logo boards and their graphics have been going downhill for a couple of years too.

Hubba skanks are pretty played out. Are they even in business any more?

Plan B's graphics are shit, but it's hard to say that they're a bad team.

I want to say Slave, because I just never see or hear anything, but maybe it's like a less is more kind of thing, idk. If that is the case it seems to be working on my sheep-like mind. Maybe they are the best marketers....

I agreed on Santa Cruz, their stuff is hella bland and their team is random as hell. I agree with the Nike comments above. There's some Nike marketing that I think is really well done, but their team is really bad. Even watching chronicles it was so weird seeing lance with Kevin and Coulden , their team has no direction. Where as you look at adidas and the whole team seems like they could all hang out. It's cool to see guys like Lowry & Gonz hanging out.

Also the girl/chocolate brands. Which is weird because they used to have amazing marketing and their whole team felt like they were good friends and hung out. Now it seems like a random list of bland dudes.

Darkstar 3D and i agree blind too
These were my first thoughts too. it's funny because everyone on those teams kills it, if they just promoted themselves a little AND GOT THEIR BOARDS OUT OF WALMART (obviously that doesn't apply to 3D) then they would be so much better
Also someone mentioned consolidated too, good point they barely promote themselves
Shit could be worse

I loathe Nike's presence in skateboarding as much as the next guy, but they're one of the most successful marketing machines in the history of modern commerce.  The companies with the worst marketing are probably the ones that do not exist anymore.  Also, G-Shock.

all the more tragic because they were once 'kings of promotion'.

any company that makes you think of suburban malls like element, flip, santa cruz or plan b. one thing these companies all have in common is a really distinct logo that they plaster all over everything.

but the funny thing is, I think all of these companies are actually pretty successful business wise. so their promotion is apparently really good. their image not so much. I'm not sure what exactly marketing is, come to think of it. I never took any business classes.

I would say revive would be the amongst the best, considering how popular they are and how shit their team is.

Yezzur! -- Is that even still a thing?
Dummy Wheels -- No new tech, is anyone even on the team besides Beagle and Antwan? Why would I buy these over bones?
ATM -- Chain wallets
Z-Flex -- Never seen one ever, whole team is nobodies, no content ever
Globe -- Only shoes I remember are pre-2002, probably one of the least quality, least innovative companies around
Osiris -- Killed by those awful 12 year old scooter kid rainbow high tops
