Blowing Up Brands

How do you know when it’s time to “optimize”, or time to rethink your messaging and strategy from the ground up?

On this episode of the Blowing Up Brands podcast, exene talks with Nicole Cooke, Brand Manager extraordinaire at Renoun Creative. 

Nicole is responsible for working with our clients to successfully implement the brand and marketing strategies we create together, so she seemed like a great person to talk to for a better understanding of what to expect and how to help ensure success when getting your message out there.

We discuss:

• the questions to ask when deciding how to approach improving a company’s marketing,

Among other things, they get into:

• real life examples of when  foregoing so-called best practices for a stronger voice and more human approach produced better results in digital marketing,
• how and why a strong brand and unique voice still matter in a digital world, from small agencies to roofing businesses to B2B SaaS companies,
• and a lot more!
