Welcome back to Branded: your comprehensive guide to creative branding.
On this episode, we're answering a single question: is it worth it?
As business owners, we spend a lot of money on tools, subscriptions, and services we think will be a game changer for our businesses, but often they fall flat and we're stuck with the bill. Now, we're looking at a few of the things we've recently paid for and giving you our honest opinion on whether or not they were worth it.
