Friends was a hit sitcom released in the 90s, known for its feel-good humour and iconic characters. The show’s success is a sight to behold, maintaining popularity even to this day.
Though not only was it loved by millions, but it's also a case study in superb branding.
In particular, its theme song is the perfect distinctive brand asset.
