Explore Brands by Map: Visual Discovery Now Live
Finding exceptional brands shouldn't depend on scrolling through lists. Our new map view lets you explore brands geographically, filter by what matters to you, and see results both on the map and in brand cards.
Our mission is to make exceptional Global South brands easy to find. This week, we added a fundamental new way to discover them: explore by map.
What’s New
Visit our Brands page and you’ll see an interactive map alongside the brand cards you’re familiar with. Here’s how it works:
Visual exploration: Pan and zoom across Russia, Mongolia, China, and beyond. Each brand appears as a marker on the map, positioned at its actual headquarters location. Click any marker to see the brand name, sectors, and attributes—then jump to its full profile.
Integrated filtering: Use our filter modal to search and filter by markets, sectors, attributes, or signals. The map and brand cards update together—what you see on the map matches what you see in the cards below.
Two views, one result set: Whether you prefer scanning cards or exploring geography, you’re looking at the same filtered results. This makes it easy to discover brands by region, then dive deeper into their stories.
Why This Matters
Geography isn’t just location—it’s context. A wine brand in Krasnodar Krai shares climate, heritage, and export routes with nearby competitors. An organic beauty brand in Mongolia faces different scaling challenges than one in coastal China.
When you explore brands on a map, you see these patterns naturally. Regional clusters become visible. Cross-border opportunities emerge. Trade corridors reveal themselves through brand density.
Traditional brand databases organize by industry codes and revenue brackets. We organize by the geographic reality of where these brands actually operate.
Advanced Features for Power Users
For those who want to go deeper, we’ve added advanced location intelligence features behind a “Show Advanced Features” toggle:
- Find brands within a specific radius of any location
- Discover regional clusters with multiple brands
- Explore brands along major trade corridors
- See nearest competitors for any brand profile
These features leverage PostGIS—professional geospatial database technology—to provide accurate, earth-aware calculations. But you don’t need to use them. The core map experience is simple: explore, filter, discover.
Try It Yourself
Visit brandmine.ai/brands and start exploring. The map works on mobile (we’re mobile-first) and supports all three languages (English, Russian, Chinese).
