Episode Takeaways

  • Striking a balance between polished branding and raw, authentic content is essential for resonating with audiences seeking genuine connections. Incorporate brand elements, like colour palettes, subtly into relaxed content while maintaining consistency and avoiding drastic changes to chase fleeting trends.
  • While trends can be inspiring, direct imitation can dilute personal branding and disengage your audience. Instead of copying trends too closely, draw inspiration to create something unique and authentic that aligns with your brand’s identity.
  • Engaging your community for feedback not only validates branding decisions but also fosters inclusion and investment among your audience. Simple choices in community polls can be a great way to get valuable insights.
  • Utilise tools like search engines to brainstorm and create mind maps of your brand’s associations. This helps in understanding audience perceptions and the emotional responses evoked by your visuals and words. Mood boards and visual research can align your brand’s visual identity with its core values.
