Everyone who has their own business has thought about their brand. We all talk so much about branding and living into our brand, but most of us haven’t paused to ask the fundamental questions:
- What does “brand” actually mean?
- Is there a difference between your brand and your marketing?
- What are the pillars of a successful brand story?
- Where does YOUR true brand come from?
To answer these and so many more questions, I sat down with two of the kings of branding, Marc Davison of 1000watt and Jason Pantana (maybe you recognize him?) for the ultimate deep dive into this essential subject.
