The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Crayola began in 1903 in Pennsylvania. The Binney family made wax crayons for children. They named it for the French word for chalk and the color brown. The first box held eight colors. That simplicity made them famous everywhere. Schools adopted the crayons as standard. Children learned to color with them. Today Crayola sells in over one hundred countries. The brand appears across 6,649 tracked brands. In Baby, Kids & Toys, they rank at number fourteen. Their crayons remain unchanged in purpose since the start. They still color the world the way children see it.
