+You’ve probably seen it before: a team member presents at a meetup, works in a café, or joins a client meeting—and their laptop looks completely generic. No logo, no colors, no hint of the company they represent. It’s a missed branding opportunity. A simple laptop skin turns every work session into subtle, free marketing for your organization.
