Agency Rocket Show

In this episode of The Agency Rocket Show, hosts Liz and Chelsea break down one of the most misunderstood—but most essential—parts of branding: strategy. Designers are taught how to make things look good. But when it comes to making brands mean something? That's where strategy comes in. We cover the core components of a brand strategy—mission, vision, values, audience, positioning, purpose, and even that sometimes-optional competitor analysis. From Discovery Workshops to target audience therapy, we talk about how strategy sets the foundation for every decision you make after—from logos to tone of voice to websites and truck wraps. You'll hear how strategy helps clients grow and helps agencies charge more, plus real-world examples of when strategy maintained clarity over chaos. What IS the difference between Liquid Death and Fiji water? Spoiler warning: it's not just taste. Whether you're a designer trying to level up or a business owner who's tired of blending in, this episode gives you the blueprint for doing brand strategy right.

In this episode of The Agency Rocket Show, hosts Liz and Chelsea unpack one of branding's biggest power moves: storytelling. 

 People don't remember bullet points—they remember how you made them feel. From emotional connection to long-term brand loyalty, we break down why a good story beats a good slogan every time. We talk about how to stop treating your brand story like a family history and start treating it like the lifestyle it is. You'll hear us dig into examples like Nike, Patagonia, and Dove (yes, we have opinions), and how the best brands make their customer the hero—not themselves. Plus, we discuss common storytelling missteps, the difference between campaigns and brand stories, and why your logo is just the beginning of your ecosystem. If you've ever wondered how to build a brand people connect with—or why your “About” page isn't cutting it—this one's for you.

In this episode of the Agency Rocket Show, Liz Hunt and Chelsea Poppens are asking the question that keeps brand owners up at night: “Do I need a rebrand... or do I just want to cut my bangs and move to another country?” (Spoiler: maybe both.) This episode is all about the rebranding era—from tiny tweaks and font facelifts to full-blown identity overhauls. We spill on the signs it's time to evolve your brand (like when your logo gives ‘Microsoft Paint, circa 1997'), dish out cautionary tales (looking at you, Tropicana), and preach the gospel of doing it right the first time. Liz even confesses her own junior high track meet sabotage stories. (You'll understand.) Whether you're craving a fresh vibe or just sick of looking like every other home contractor with a house-shaped logo, this episode is your permission slip to rethink your brand—boldly and strategically.
