Behind BlueKube
Our Story
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders
The BlueKube story begins with a 12-year-old kid named Brandon Kennington. He had a dream to become an inventor and kept a notebook in his back pocket at all times to scribble down product ideas.
As Brandon grew up, his dream never wavered. He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University and worked in Silicon Valley in the early 2000s. He designed a portable digital music player that was years ahead of the iPod, as well as the Blue Cube, a digital music device for the entire home.
Brandon decided to start a company to manufacture and sell his products, and BlueKube was born. Today, we are a global product development company and multi-brand ecommerce company with a diverse range of innovative, wow-worthy products. We’re passionate about what we do, and we look forward to turning your dreams into tangible products.
To this day, Brandon still keeps his trusty notebook in his back pocket in case inspiration strikes. Who knows what he’ll come up with next?

When she isn’t orchestrating seamless global operations or chatting with our partners in China under the moonlight, Sam is on her newest adventure: embracing the joys of motherhood with her baby boy.
