Strategy Focused Branding:
Fundamentals for a
Well-Branded Business
PRESENTED BY:
Amanda Freeman
Mixie Design Co
Brand strategy isn't just for big corporations anymore. You've probably heard by now that branding is more than just a logo, but what you may not realize is that business owners who take the time to develop a comprehensive brand strategy report earnings 90% higher than their competitors in similar industries. Branding is officially a step in your business that you cannot afford to skip. However, building a brand on your own is challenging! When you are filled with questions and doubts, it might seem much easier to throw your hands up and quit. Most entrepreneurs struggle to clearly articulate the necessary components to build their brand. You are not alone, of course, but let's change your approach and turn your branding into your company's best employee!
Amanda Freeman is the owner of Mixie Design Co., an adventurous brand and web design studio in Southeast Michigan. After decades of being her own boss and working with small businesses all over the country, she has seen it all. As Amanda said, the ups and downs are inevitable for all of us, but as we come out of the pandemic fog, there is a bigger need to stand out than ever before. Amanda has been featured on numerous podcasts, in blogs and resources, and has been a "behind the scenes" content creator for some of the world's most impactful communities.
In this session, the fundamentals for brand strategy success, the importance of digital experience consistency, and how you can easily create a custom strategy for your own business will be discussed. You will even walk away with a BRANDING BASICS workbook to help you dig deep into your own messaging and make small DIY adjustments with major impact.
