If you could work as a marketer for any company, who would you want to work for? I’ll start, my dream company would have to be Nintendo USA. Any of the big gaming hardware brands seem like they’d be great to work for but Nintendo is the dream.

Weekly Hot take nintendo has every right to be super strict with their IPs. Regardless how much you personally want some fan projects, Nintendo's C&D orders are probably the right call.
I understand their position from a legal perspective; you have to aggressively prevent others from using your IP, otherwise, you risk losing it (at least for trademarks). But I think there are examples of Nintendo overreaching. For example, their early approach to live streaming and YouTube video monetization shows a short-sighted, limited understanding of the massive brand value of a healthy live streaming environment. Similarly, their lack of support for esports, fighting game tournaments, and regional Mario kart go-karting shops, highlights an inflexibility that damages their reputation.

Im not just saying this because of the movie hype, but my dream company has always been mattel. Especially in the last decade since they started rebooting the barbie brand and expanding the diversity of body and face types that they create. I always loved barbie but that was such a bold and important pivot for the brands that it solidified me as a fangirl. There are also some newer brands that I love like the stationary/school supplies company Ooly.
