In this new episode, Matt Davies will share his expertise on how to build a brand that can stand out.

Are your teams all pulling in different directions? Are you finding it difficult to stand out? Do you feel that sometimes your prospects and customers just don't GET you? Do you feel that all they do is compare you with your competitors on price? That they don't know what makes you different? What makes you better? What makes you, you?

Find out the answers to these questions with Matt Davies!

What does it take to remain relevant after 50 years? Firstly, it takes a robust membership of global creatives who have made a commitment to shaping culture one pixel and activation at a time.

It also takes a visionary leader who not only understands the craft of design but also understands the role it plays in society.

Meet Cybelle Jones, CEO of SEGD, The Society of Experiential Graphic Designers

And my conversation with her was equally inspiring as it was thought-provoking.

What did we talk about?

✖︎ What it took to pull off a rebranding of a 50-year-old design organization where every member is equipped with opinions and advice

✖︎ How the brand evolution came to life on the web, in person, and what the future holds for the organization

✖︎ The importance of experiential design as it relates to building brands, connecting with diverse audiences, and the role technology plays in bringing it all together.

Cheers to a great week, Branders, and thanks for all the support.

Ciao Friends,

Riddle me this. What’s the 1 activity that can take your brand from bland to grand? From puttering along the highway to being shot up into space?

Some may call it rebranding. Other’s may categorize it as a refresh. Whether it’s evolutionary or revolutionary, the truth is, brands need as much help understanding when it’s time to rebrand as much as they need help in facilitating the rebrand.

Luckily we have experts out there like Bill Kenney who literally wrote the book on rebranding and he’s our next guest to join us in the studio.

What did we talk about?

✖︎ What the not-so secret formula is to launching a great rebrand (hint: it includes the Executive Leadership Team)

✖︎ Rebranding failures and success stories including what Metallica has been able to do this past year

✖︎ How to measure the success of a rebranding initiative

Cheers to a great week, Branders, and thanks for all the support.

If you missed out on last week’s Friday Live, you missed a great chat with Bill Kenney talking about the 5 ways to tell if your organization needs a rebrand.

Tom Asacker is on another level. Besides being a trusted advisor to some of the worlds biggest and most successful brands, he’s also on a personal journey to help humans understand the role beliefs play in shaping our world.

Sounds right up my alley.

So when I had the chance to sit down and speak with Tom, not only did we instantly hit off because we share so many of the same beliefs, but I was instantly intrigued by his story how he has not only perceived as an in-demand creative brand consultant, but how he has always followed his heart to work on projects with a sense of purpose.

What did we talk about?

✖︎ How beliefs shape consumers and the brands leverage those beliefs to market

✖︎ The role philosophy plays in shaping brands and consumers

✖︎ His latest podcast where he’s speaking with some of the greatest minds of history who have lived before us

When I sat down to chat with Luis Miguel Messianu, I had no idea what to expect. I mean, he’s the son of Romanian immigrants and was raised in Mexico. The cultural implications of this are tremendous.

However, during our conversation, I got the overwhelming feeling that I was speaking to a leader who is a maverick in our industry. Someone who is unapologetically sincere as he is smart.

How else could he have amassed a career as profound as he has?

What did we talk about?

✖︎ How brands like Coors, Pepsi, and McDonalds continue to stay relevant year after year

✖︎ Why DE&I isn’t enough in the branding/advertising industry

✖︎ Why brands must address multicultural marketing and how they can do so successfully

Cheers to a great week, Branders, and thanks for all the support.
