Branding is NOT just your logo, colors, or typography. It is perception. It is how people see you, interpret you, and experience you.In this masterclass episode, creative strategist and brand expert Evante Daniels, CSO & Founder of Seeqer, breaks down his biggest branding pet peeves, why marginal market differentiation is the key to success, and how trying to be too different can actually hurt your brand. If your brand stands out more than 5% from the standard, you risk losing connection with your audience. Think of it like seasoning—too much, and no one wants to eat it.We dive into brand standards, color theory, market framing, positioning, and consumer psychology to help you build a brand that resonates while infusing culture to influence brand perception to expand community and loyalty. You do not need to reinvent everything. You need to find your lane. Your brand should reflect who you are becoming, not just where you are today.It is not about faking it until you make it. It is about positioning yourself with passion, potential, and power.This is Part 1 of a must-listen branding conversation.Beyond The Episode Gems:Follow Evante Daniels On LinkedIn For Creative & Brand Insights, Strategy, Content, & MemesInterested In Working With Evante and Seeqer?

In the first episode of our new monthly series, Branding Bestie Chit Chat, I sit down with Lauren Braier to explore a question that's been buzzing around the boutique brand design community: What's the future of our industry?From online chatter to shifts in the career paths of high-profile designers, we dive into why it feels like so many business owners are struggling right now. Is it just the nature of social media amplifying the lows, or is something deeper happening in the branding world?Lauren and I share our predictions for 2025, including a possible decline in courses and education in favor of 1:1 coaching, the lingering effects of an oversaturated market post-COVID, and the continued importance of showing up authentically on social media (because being a faceless brand just doesn't cut it anymore).We also reflect on what these changes mean for our own futures as brand designers. Whether you're navigating similar questions or just curious about what's ahead, this episode is packed with insights, candid thoughts, and some serious bestie vibes.Grab your coffee, tune in, and let's talk shop!Guest Information:Guest Name: Lauren BraierGuest Business Name: Elby CreativeGuest Website: elbycreative.comGuest Instagram: @elbycreativeConnect With Us:Our Free Facebook CommunityOur WebsitePodcast InstagramTags:designer, design, brand design, brand identity design, design studio, design business, graphic design, brand designer, better podcast, brand designer podcast, logo design, brand identity design

Your outdated brand photos and DIY website are deleting opportunities before they even reach your inbox.   In this special episode, I'm sharing four powerful client stories that demonstrate exactly why strategic branding transforms businesses. From Holly's $115K launch to Maria's fully-booked premium offers, these success stories prove that professional branding isn't just about looking polished - it's about converting high-ticket clients.   The truth is, most entrepreneurs are still using photos from three years ago, recycling the same content, and wondering why their marketing isn't working. Our Rebrand Experience clients have discovered that strategic visual branding doesn't just elevate your image, it fundamentally changes how clients perceive, engage with, and buy from your business.   For a limited time, we're offering $3,000 off our signature Rebrand Experience, plus including professional photo shoot costs (a first-time offer). If you're ready to stop losing premium clients to poor branding and position yourself as the only choice in your industry, this episode will show you exactly how our framework creates lasting results.   In today's episode, we're chatting about: • Why DIY branding is costing you high-ticket clients • How strategic photos and websites double launch revenue • The three pillars of a premium brand that converts • 4 client case studies that prove the power of rebranding • Why 2025 success requires more than just good content   Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Tedde authored the book “Experience Thinking: Creating Connected Experiences”, in which he explains the importance of going beyond just product design or service design, and focusing on the holistic approach of experience design.In his own words, “Experience Thinking" starts with the holistic experience customers and users have with an organisation over time, then guides the enabling technologies and content to create intentional experiences.

Are you wondering how to create a fitness brand design that visually brings out your business's best, most authentic side? Meet Olivia August, brand designer for team Pixality and designer at Bold August Design Studio.  A little bit about Olivia: Olivia has been my branding go-to for over five years now. She designed the branding for my business, Pixality Design, and many of Pixality's clients. Not only do I admire the creativity and quality of Olivia's designs, but one of the things I appreciate most about working with her is her approach to branding beyond just a logo. She helps business owners create and implement true visual brand systems that are practical for ongoing marketing needs.  Here's a quick rundown of what we covered: What is branding and brand identity?   What makes a good logo for a fitness studio? And what should you avoid?  Besides a logo, what other elements does Olivia think are essential to having a practical brand set that helps a studio look cohesive across various platforms? Once a studio owner invests in branding, it has logo variations, colors, fonts, and maybe some patterns, icons, or textures. What's next?  How often should someone reassess their visual brand, and how do you know what it needs to stay current? Links: Add on Branding to any Pixality Web Design Project.

Welcome back to The Branding Business School Podcast - Season 8! After a 15-week hiatus, Victoria is thrilled to reconnect with you all and share insights from her unconventional summer. This episode kicks off with reflections on taking time off from BrandWell to spend quality time with her children, embracing a flexible and unstructured work routine. This summer, Victoria decided to eliminate structured meetings and obligations from her calendar, so that she could prioritize being present for her girls. Balancing work and motherhood, especially with young children, poses its challenges, but it was mentally relieving to remove internal meetings and focus on being present with her family. With her team's support, Victoria could prioritize essential projects while delaying others. Her daily work routine centered around her children's nap and quiet times, offering a consistent yet limited work window that allowed her to invest in meaningful family moments, including cherished evenings with her husband, James.The experience of balancing work and family life turned out to be more rewarding than she anticipated. Despite initial fears of a dip in sales, June was a strong month, and July even broke records, highlighting the strength of BrandWell's systems and team. Pre-scheduling content and conducting efficiency audits were key strategies that maintained business operations smoothly during her time off. By trimming non-essential tasks and focusing on impactful ones, Victoria ensured crucial operations were always addressed. This intentional shift underscored the importance of building a flexible business that supports family life, and Victoria is grateful for the unexpected success and the divine blessings that made it possible. Tune in to hear more about how taking a step back can sometimes propel your business forward.Links mentioned in today's episode:BrandWell DesignsFor show notes, head to www.thebrandingbusinessschool.com/thepodcast/ Show notes for episodes 1-91 can be found at www.brandwelldesigns.com/thepodcast/ Follow BrandWell on Instagram.
