Brands
A page for every brand we've actually covered.
No brand gets a profile here just for showing up in a menu scrape — it has to earn one in the Newsroom or a Spotlight first. Once it does, we pull in everything else the site knows about it: Plug drops, sales rankings, and Discovery market stats.
