How do you build a brand that helps you stand out, gain credibility and boost customer love? 💓
This week, @marina_v.jpg , Founder of @dawning__studio and Global Creative Director at @airtasker ran a startup branding workshop for our Pioneers Community. She shared three brand principles:
🐟 Be a shiny fish in a dull pond. If you’re in an “ordinary” product category, use brand to stand out and differentiate yourself.
🚀 Give a shit, have a blast doing it. Make sure your product has a purpose beyond making money. Then, find ways to communicate that purpose in an engaging and compelling way.
👫 Be a people person. Know your audience, including where they are, what their needs are, what brands they love and why.
Thanks for sharing your expertise @marina_v.jpg 🙌
