Business has always been a battle of priorities. While that hasn’t changed, the world order has.
Today, shelves and in-boxes are crowded. Uncertainty is ubiquitous. Owners have to bring agility and focus to managing priorities more than ever, and while owning or running a business was never a cake walk, today is definitely…not-business-as-usual.
Brand strategy is one way to understand and grow your business from a lens that keeps everyone using the same compass.
But branding isn’t marketing (nope). Brand is the DNA – the connective tissue – that informs all the decisions you make for your business.
The Brandsmiths bring decades of brand strategy experience to this 30-minute show featuring one business owner with a question.
You won’t hear any quick fixes or “seven steps to branding” on this podcast, despite the drive-thru-branding pace.
Our mission is to deliver insightful recommendations and feedback that help them – and, help you, too.
In fact there are no promises or prescriptions, because everyone’s issues are different – and quality thinking doesn’t come in a template. These are real issues, with real business leaders.
