On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by agency veteran Michael Janda to discuss and share his experience of running a business, creating a brand, mentoring and training his employees to what he does now: Helping creatives figure out how to maximise their careers, to make the money they should be making and helping them reduce their stress.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe top things you should have in place if you're going to be successful are: Relationships and relationship skills – to be able to connect with other people in a way that makes them want to buy from you and that they can trust you. Understanding business fundamentals – the numbers, how to make decisions based off the analysing the data, how to price your work. Have a network of support – people who fulfil some of your tangential skills and that overlap some of your skills.One of the big objectives of branding is to differentiate your business from other businesses, to make you stand out and resonate with a target customer and make you unique in the marketplace. Every human is unique, no one is the same as you, we're all individually branded, let that become manifest in your business and it will become unique like you.I used to think “that person's killing it, their agency's so good, how did they get there?” and then I got big enough that I could go to lunch with these people and it wasn't all roses, they were having the same problems I was and my eyes opened to the fact that their outward representation said. Most entrepreneurs are the same. The reality is not the same as what they portray.What is the fusion between your personal brand and your business brand? Are you intentionally making your business brand a manifestation of your personal brand? Are you making yourself the face of your business brand? Someone needs to be the face of your business brand, you should be your own influencer of your businesses, don't pay someone else to sell your brand for you. BEST MOMENTS‘So many creatives are uber-creative, but not uber-analytical. If you're an entrepreneur, you have to tap into both sides of that. If you can't, hire someone who is to do that for you.'‘It's detrimental to the success of your business to emulate a brand like Nike or Apple.'‘In the end my agency was a success, but there were plenty of dark days on the road. I'm glad that phase in my life is over, but grateful to have had the experience.'‘Say what you want about Donald Trump, but that dude was branded, he was a walking brand.'ABOUT THE GUESTMichael Janda is an executive level creative leader with more than 20 years of experience in both in-house creative departments and agencies working with some of the greatest brands in the world.He founded the creative agency, Riser, in 2002.
