How to create a transformative personal brand 1:11:06

3+ y ago1:11:06

1:11:06

'Personal brand' is an overused, increasingly meaningless term. What it should stand for is clarity in who you are, and what you stand for. But it has been co-opted by the get-rich-quick-self-help crowd, and devolved into little more than superficialities - what you wear and who you hang out with. So it was with a cynical eye that I opened an email…

Getting your brand story right... finally! 46:58

4y ago46:58

46:58

Brand storytelling is both powerful and perplexing. We all acknowledge that a good story 'sticks' better than any list of brand features or benefits... but we also know that crafting a memorable story is damn hard. What's worse, there are no easy step-by-step processes or manuals that enable you to generate a decent brand story. Well, actually, I f…

Sarah Darcey aspired to build a fashion styling brand. But with a great job, her aspiration never left the back burner. COVID-19 changed all that. For months, Sarah was confined to her apartment.

Delivering brand disruption, one order at a time 44:01

44:01

As COVID and the economic meltdown grind on, we're seeing yawning market chasms emerge that are ripe for brand disruption. One of the most glaring is the massive gap between 'big' retail and, well, all other merchants. The poster child for big retail is Amazon. Granted, the giant has delivered an excellent product for these strange times, enabling …

35:14

How do you do a successful pandemic brand pivot? COVID has spawned a cottage industry of advice on shifting the tactics of your brand - amping up the education and free value to your followers, reaching out more often, focusing on empathy over persuasion, etc etc. But so much of it seems, well, timid and incremental. And - speaking as a focus group…

In disruptive times, you need outsider marketing 36:33

4y ago36:33

36:33

Outsider marketing means getting an 'outside the jar' perspective on your company's positioning, messaging and selling. Here's why it's more important than ever. The economy is melting down. Everywhere you look, companies are ducking for cover, going under, or struggling to stay alive. Or are they? Times of disruption deliver opportunities for comp…

Build a better brand with customer discovery 27:11

4y ago27:11

27:11

As an entrepreneur, I know how easy it is to be swept up by a new idea, ignoring lukewarm or contradictory feedback from potential customers. 'They don't get it' or 'They don't know what they want', we blithely say while charging forward. Truth is, consumers do get ideas they like. And if your idea isn't resonating in its most rudimentary form, cha…

Quick, name two top tech cities. San Francisco, and, ummm... Exactly. Being a top tech city and being known as a top tech city are two quite different things.
