Brand Blaster

Today on the show we're talking about building your Brand Blaster team, a band of characters that represents your personality, brand, marketing and sales. I remember playing Chrono Trigger when I was a kid and realizing that the only way to survive and thrive was to make sure these characters were assisting each other during the entire battle. The leader defined the mission, The Tank dealt big damage, The Specialist kept dangers at bay and The Healer revived the team. Each component, when you check in on them, provides consistent focus and support when facing new opponents and tackling new clients. Not literally.

Today on the show we're talking about branding and the 10 things you need to know to even start thinking about branding. It's not easy to start a brand, not easy to be a client to a designer effectively without knowing anything about branding, understanding that not everyone can do it, colors matter and that branding is a qualifying aspect of your business. These 10 things to know are the key starting points for learning how to build brand by yourself or with a designer.

Today on the show we talk all about losing followers. That feeling of missing out on connections really sucks. We know what that's like but also understand that losing a few followers doesn't mean that someone doesn't like your content or that they're even a real person. There are so many factors that contribute to the impersonal nature of trying to add followers to your media presence. We're here to talk about how all of that doesn't matter if you're looking to reach the right people.

Today we're talking about how business is a mutual experience. Working with clients involves both the service provider and client to protect each other from the challenges that business brings. Many see contracts as this cold method of communication that is making relationships worse but it couldn't be further from the truth. It's about establishing a guideline so you know where you stand and neither party can make things up when they get stressed. It's super important and we talk about that on today's episode of C-Note's Media Madness.

Today on the show we're talking about using politics in marketing. When is it appropriate to approach such sensitive topics when you're using social media to market your services? Is it always a qualifier or can it be used too aggressively to alienate a potentially powerful client? There's a lot of little things to talk about on this topic so let's go!

Today on the show we're going through a thread of my favorite Facebook group called "Getting Clients Without Being Salesy" in which a question was asked about business pet peeves. Essentially, there a ton of little things that we, as business people, deal with every single day from our families to our clients. This episode is meant to bring some of those issues to like, talk a little bit about what you can do to prevent some of those issues and continue to build the business that you love without any sense of guilt or frustration.

Today on the show we're talking about kindness being good for business. Taking care of people, listening to them, not putting a paywall on your knowledge, and providing support even if they can't pay you is all important for long term business relationships and growth. Not only that but it's a good way to approach personal relationships as well.

Today on the show we're talking about Media, Yesterday and Today and how there isn't a major difference between pre-2000s and today beyond the tools and amount of reach possible. We're still trying to sell things, we're still trying to be presentable or popular, we're still trying to find reasons to brag to our friends. It's not any different than the "My kid is an honor student" bumper sticker showing off your pride to the car behind you (who thinks you're a douche). Let's explore those parallels today on C-Note's Media Madness!

Today we're talking about taking advice from family when it comes to your branding or your work with clients. Unless they are the ideal client for your client then you shouldn't be attempting to obtain constructive information from family and friends. You wouldn't ask a random stranger to evaluate the design integrity of your branding, would you? It's no different than when you're asking someone with no experience to vote for a design or give you feedback. So cut it out!
