Brand profiles on foursquare
UPDATE (2/1/10): This list is no longer being actively maintained. Brands are being added faster than I can keep up. For the most current list, please visit our friends at foursquarebrands.com.
A number of brands are offering tips to users on foursquare, but unless they’re one of the big brands featured at the bottom of foursquare’s site, their profiles can be difficult to find. To make it easier, we’ve compiled a list of all the brands you can “follow” on foursquare.
If you follow a brand, you’ll receive pop up tips each time you check in at or near a venue where the brand has left tips. Their most recent tips are listed on their profile page; from there, you can add their tips to your to-do list for future reference.
We’ll try to keep this list updated as we learn of more brands coming on board. If you know of any we’ve missed, please let us know in the comments.

Changelog
- 12/10/10: Added San Diego’s Bowl Games

Updated: Bing; Dora; Expendables; Flavorpill; How to Make it in America; IFC; Time Out Chicago; Time Out NY; Valentine’s Day Movie; Havaianas; DonQ Rum; Cornell University. Foursquare now requires that all branded profiles have an associated Twitter account to avoid conflict with the vanity URLs users now receive. These brands either changed vanity URLs to comply or lost them altogether when foursquare made the switch. Thanks to @iagomega for the corrections.

Wondering which brands have FourSquare profiles? Here's a list of 100 brands you can follow on FourSquare http://bit.ly/8XAiuf
Hi all,
In clothing category, there should be actually 2 links for Havaianas as US (the one you put) is doing one, and as Havaianas Europe is running a very different concept via http://foursquare.com/user/havaianaseurope
You’ll be then able to discover places all over Europe and get free advantages on the online store!
Cheers,
Lucy.
This is only the brands that have official foursquare brand profiles that can be followed, not “friended.”
Awesome list! Thanks sooooo much!
Hey,
Great post! Do you know how a company can get a “brand” account instead of just a “user” account? Is this something you have to pay for? I work for a worldwide travel company and we are very interested in building our brand via foursquare.
Thanks!
Brittany
No, you’ll need to contact foursquare for that. My understanding is that some have been free while others have been paid.
I’ve tried contacting Foursquare about that and after a month, no answers.

Heads up, Chris! I’ve finally convinced University of Southern California to start the process of claiming their venues. I’m working on helping them to get branded now. I made sure to forward them a link to your article regarding foursquare for colleges and universities. Any other tips?
Thanks for the heads up!
any update?
Another one: http://foursquare.com/graphicly
And they mention badges
PS: Does anyone else have a problem with How to Make it in America referencing inactive badges on their brand page? Strikes me as a bit of false advertising or a bait-and-switch
Cheers
Hi-
Just a heads up but Hilton Grand Vacations is now a branded page. Check it out – http://www.foursquare.com/HiltonGrandVac
UC Berkeley has a branded page at http://foursquare.com/cal
Visitors to Cal can earn the university-specific Foursquare badges.
Add The Ohio State University to the school list. Please!!!!
what kind of badge? a brand new specific badge for cal or just an old university badge we knew before on 4sq?
add UMass Dartmouth to the list
I think you should include Boston University.
How can a college be added to this list? I’d love to chat with someone about the possibility of including Concordia College (http://foursquare.com/venue/7717820) to this list. Please let me know.
Check out foursquare’s official site for universities: http://foursquare.com/universities

I am just wondering if there are restrictions on people under 21 following alcohol brands- does anyone know anything about this?
No, there aren’t any restrictions at this time. My understanding is that they’ve stopped adding brand pages for alcohol-related pages (and even accidentally took down a branded page for a wine region destination organization briefly).
So, alcoholic brands aren’t allowed to have a brand page?
What about the Heineken Netherlands brand page?
To my knowledge, Heineken Netherlands doesn’t have a brand page. Their program is run entirely from their website, I believe.

We have a brand page to on Foursquare but we can’t do anything with it. I’m running a small recordlabel and i want to encourage our customers to check-in at the place where they or the dj is playing one of our releases… so… no venue to pin and there is no support what so ever to realize such campaigns. Not sure, but.. they’re missing a lot of possibilities to get some funding! So… we have a brand page but… we’ll that’s pretty much it.
