Brand Commandos are a team of reliable college students that help brands with surveys, sampling, and social media on college campuses around the country. Paul Pelech is a Brand Commando at Purdue University and enjoys working with companies and helping them understand his peers better. Originally from Greenwood, Indiana, Paul is a junior at Purdue where he studies economics.
When he’s not studying hard, Paul participates in rowing. Because of that, a couple of his favorite brands are Resolute Racing Shells and Concept2. Both companies are world-class manufacturers of rowing equipment located in Vermont and Rhode Island, they produce racing shells for racing progams and air resistance indoor rowing machines, among other products. It makes sense why a committed athlete like Paul is loyal to these high-performing brands. To keep up with rowing and his other activities, Paul is also a fan of Nike. When he’s not working hard on his own or with his team, Paul enjoys photography and is a fan of using Canon’s products.
