This episode was recorded LIVE and in-person during Small Business Week.

This in-depth conversation covers the steps to developing a brand, from messaging to visuals to marketing.

You’ll hear from three experts with different backgrounds as we share our various perspectives on the topic of “what makes a strong brand?”

• How do you decide on your brand’s niche?
• How do you determine your ideal client?
• What needs to be done before you launch your brand?
• What role does your website play in growing your brand?
• Why branding is so much more than a logo, and what personal brands can learn from this
• What visuals are actually the most important for your marketing
• How AI is changing the game when it comes to content creation and building your brand
