01

The brief

The brand in a paragraph.

Owlet began in 2013. Kate Okikiolu and Kurt Workman founded it. They make baby monitors. The Smart Sock changed everything. Parents could track infant heart rate and oxygen levels. A wearable device for sleeping children. The company became essential to modern nurseries. Today Owlet operates globally. It ranks second in Baby, Kids & Toys. Appears across 6649 tracked brands. The Smart Sock remains their signature. Owlet built trust through data. Numbers matter to worried parents. The brand endures because it delivers what it promises. Vigilance in a small piece of fabric.
