Let's say you're a startup developing an app. Or an NGO launching a social enterprise. Or a niche content creator. In other words, you're not a massive brand (at least not yet). This episode is FULL of growth advice for small brands like yours, drawn from ways that bigger brands have resonated with their audiences. Because multinational companies and local coffee shops have the same aim: emotionally connect with individuals. Many thanks to my amazing 2023 guests whose stories are distilled in this round-up!

What is this podcast?

Case studies in brand loyalty, equipping you to better connect with your audience. In each episode, a top guest picks their favourite brand. I then invite them to unpack why it means so much. As they share, we gain invaluable insights into what makes audiences tick. Not with strategy or theory, but through that undeniable proof of successful branding: emotion.
