The Surprising Truth About why a Messy Brand Strategy is the Better Way to Go
[powerpress]
Creating a brand strategy that works for you isn't always a straightforward process. And in a lot of cases, it can be a bit of a mess from the outside. It can be especially messy when you throw in a chronic illness. All the health issues, hospital stays, lots of doctor visits, and all the medicine! Basically, you�ve got a whole lot of things to juggle while trying to pursue your dreams. But that doesn't mean that a brand strategy can�t be intentional and impactful.
This is part 2 of our interview with Elizabeth Amber, a woman living with cystic fibrosis (aka CF). And if you haven't listened to part one yet, I highly suggest you go back and listen to it before continuing with this episode.
During the last episode, we talked with Elizabeth about how having a brand strategy helped her pursue her writing career by finding a strategy that worked with her health instead of against it.
Today we are going to be continuing that conversation. We'll continue our conversation with Elizabeth about the lessons she�s learned from living with cystic fibrosis and recovering from a transplant. While getting a little bit messy by experimenting with different processes to discover her brand strategy. We�ll also hear how she�s learned to stop comparing her strategies to society�s definition of �the right way,� and finally how she�s learned that she�s needed to set boundaries to make her strategy work for her. It may have appeared a bit messy, but it was the strategy she needed.
So let's grab a cup of coffee and dig in.
