Brand Your Passion

As a creative, you know how exciting it feels to have a new idea, right?

It’s intoxicating. It’s a rush. It’s why a lot of us do what we do.

But what happens when that initial high wears off? How do you keep going when the exciting idea becomes a project, a commitment, a responsibility?

In this episode, Lauren Tilden is going to tell us just that.

Lauren is a marketing coach for small business owners who struggle with showing up consistently to market their business and is also the host of the podcast, Making Good, which is on a mission to help small businesses do better marketing so they can make a bigger living impact on the world.

This week we are doing the ol' switcheroo and I am stoked to share an episode from Lauren's podcast on my podcast.

In this episode, Lauren talks all about how to keep going which is episode 2 of a 3 part series that she did on how to get started, how to keep going, and how to finish -  an area that a lot of us creatives need a little help in.

And as I share Lauren's episode on this podcast, Lauren is interviewing me over on her podcast! Once you’ve binged this episode, head on over to the Making Good podcast to listen to that one!

Are you ready to grow your audience, attract new customers and get more building-building opportunities on repeat?

This episode is where I tell you exactly how.

We’re ditching the ol’ “throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks” approach and shifting our focus to something more powerful and actually useful… branding.

We’re diving into how branding is the umbrella that ties together ALL aspects of your business from design and marketing to systems and growth.

Plus how adopting a new approach to branding (where you realise it’s not just about logos and colours) can propel your creative business forward and help you elevate your brand and achieve sustainable and consistent growth.

Let me guess… you’ve suddenly got the urge to rebrand *ha-hmmm* again?

Look, you and I both know that there’s nothing better than having a fresh new brand to showcase to the world, but in this episode, we’re talking about why you may not actually need a rebrand at all.

Today, I'll be breaking down the 3 steps you need to take to audit your existing brand so that you can determine whether a brand refresh OR a total rebrand is on the cards for you.

Whether you’re aiming to DIY it or hire a professional for help, before you go diving head first into a whole new logo, colour palette and brand identity… Listen to this episode FIRST.

When you think of your favourite artists, creatives, or brands that you follow online, it’s not their brand colours, their logo, or the aesthetic of their Instagram feed that draws you in and keeps you coming back for more, it’s their personality. It’s what makes them unique and it’s what people love about you, too!

But how do you create a consistent and cohesive brand personality when you are a complex, multi-passionate creative whose mood changes daily, and whose interests evolve all of the time?

That's what we're going to talk about in today's episode. I’m going to help you get crystal clear on your brand personality by figuring out who YOU are as a person, especially as an ever-growing and ever-changing multi-passionate creative.
