In this episode of The Changemakers, Dave Corlett is joined by Alex Waite, Strategy Director at Shaped By, to tackle a common hurdle in the B2B tech world: the "imitation trap". As startups achieve product-market fit and move into scale-up territory, this inflection point often necessitates a brand evolution to power their next phase of growth. But the pressure to “grow up” at this point often leads founders and leaders to mimic how successful brands have done this, rather than digging into their own authentic truth to find the real story.Dave and Alex unpack:The surface level trap: why looking at other brands' identities is reductive and ignores the thousands of internal decisions that actually build a brandThe attribution danger: how imitating established brands is more likely to confuse people than lead to success The rise of agentic buyers: why AI and LLMs make brand clarity more vital than everThe Ferrari factor: moving beyond cold specs to build emotional bias and become the human choice in a world of automation.If you're a startup marketing leader or founder feeling the pressure to do what others are doing, this conversation is your permission to stop looking afar and start looking within.

In this episode Robin Landa explains strategic creativity. Robin Landa is a Distinguished Professor in the Michael Graves College at Kean University. She specializes in advertising ideas and art direction, creative thinking, graphic design and branding and has written bestselling books including Graphic Design Solutions, 6th ed., Build Your Own Brand, and Nimble: Thinking Creatively in the Digital Age.What's the first thing you think of when you hear the phrase "brand identity"? A logo, color palette, and characters right? But that's only a small part of the story.To have a successful brand identity be strategically creative. A brand identity is the representation of the brand and it is the strategic position in the marketplace. So, it has to be strategically creative in order to gel with the target audience.Brand identity does more than just build an imaginary world, it creates a relationship between people who have heard you and made your name part of their lives. A logo mark is more than just a logo. It's the entry point for your brand and its identity. It's your name and the way you're perceived by customers, and it's the foundation for everything else you do. It's what sets you apart from other brands and allows you to stand out from the crowd. It has to be memorable, differentiating, imprinting on people, and most importantly, it needs to be easy to remember—and ideally, emotionally inspiring.It's really hard to make a brand identity that is personal and unique when you're working with a company that has thousands of designers and their work is available for all to see. This is why we need to be careful that we don't just lift someone else's work and use it without permission. Brand identity must be unique and personable!In this episode, we discuss:Brand Identity and how to make it memorable and distinctiveBrand construct and manifestoBasic design principle you need to knowThe idea behind balance design and color associationsSonic brandingHow to identify talent in identity designIntellectual property lawIdentifiers in brand design

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Know what hat you're wearing - we've got to be very clear about how we signal the people working in our team in what capacity we are speaking. Business is an ecosystem and we all have our specific job to do. It's not your IP, it's not your brand, it's not all the other things that we put together, it's who you are as you appear in front of your client. Linking to the passion that you do things with becomes self-energizing, and that becomes your strength.  When you appear more authentic, you will come across as more credible - when you connect better you create more sales  Have a strategy about being as decisive as doing what you are not going to do and what you're going to do. Everything business does either makes the brand or breaks the brand. RESOURCES MENTIONED: QBQ! Jon G Miller. The question behind the question.

Why It's Important To Build Your Own BrandIn this weeks episode of the Mortgage Broker Broadcast, Alex Curtis, Owner & Founder of The Lead Engine talks about why he believes in building your own brand and so much more.

Those people in the world with personal brands are unique individuals. Personal brands come a few different ways. One, a person can create success in their personal life, and then they make a brand out of that influence they've gained, thus becoming a personal brand. Think Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Lionel Messi, they're all so successful at their own trade, that the world in a way forces them to become a personal brand.    Then there is another type of personal brand, and it comes from someone who has something inside of them and it is so strong they want and need to share it with the world. They are natural creators. Joe Rogan would be a good example of this, he started his podcast with no outside influence, he just wanted to have great conversations with great people. This group of people with a personal brand have so much to give and are so good at it, that when they start sharing, it could be through videos, books, audio, blogs or whatever means they choose, it naturally starts to take off, and people follow.    That is today's guest. His name is Preston Smiles, and when he was in his mid-20's he started helping people. He noticed people would come up to him and naturally ask for help and support. Eventually, more and more people came and he got overwhelmed with the time strain so he created a YouTube channel to help people answer their questions. He then began making inspirational videos, he started a community called the LoveMob where the group went around and did random acts of kindness and flash mobs. His channel and brand grew to where he could begin monetizing by writing books, and starting groups that help people, and empowering others to take action in their lives.    Preston is now the author of two books, has a very successful YouTube channel, he has approximately 150k followers on Facebook, 224k on Instagram, he's been interviewed on a few of the top mindset & entrepreneurial podcasts in the world including ImpactTheory and Lewis Howes podcast. He runs a podcast himself, and runs multiple empowerment groups like Amplify, Kaboom Coaching, Stretch 22, and M-Powered Brotherhood. Today on the podcast, Preston and I are going to talk to those of you that have a personal brand inside of them, and how you can let it out! 03:55 Who is Preston Smiles? 08:31 The 4 Stages of Consciousness 13:10 The Early Days of Preston's Personal Brand 17:32 Staying in Alignment with Oneself  24:25 As a Creator - How Do You Give Your Brand to the World 29:05 How is a Terrible Question to Ask 39:25 Tapping Into the Work You Should be Doing Contact Info:   Website: https://prestonsmiles.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PrestonSmilesSpeaks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonsmiles/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-preston-smiles-show/id1572721878   Subscribe to the Podcast:

LEADERSHIP.  What does leadership trigger in you? I know it triggered some things in me... so let's rock this: 1: Let's Rock with Amy: This week was interesting for me, as leadership is not something I have ever focused on. all the segments touch on the qualities that make a leader, and I looked and smaller ways that we can lead and the daily practices that can make us actualize our innate leader. I also talk about the acts of service that Alain talks about, and a reframe of that. Don't forget that my new FREE meditation is out too! Access that and other free stuff HERE! 2: The Interview (12:57): Interview this week is with Alain Hunkins, bestselling author of Cracking the Leadership Code and CEO of Hunkins Leadership Group. Every single thing Alain says in our conversation is so worth listening to! We covered how shifting our mindset around leadership can be crucial; anything we do essentially takes leadership; the real key to leadership; how to find the connection with others when we can’t be one-on-one (so good!); I ask about using the power of leadership for good vs. evil; he tells me what he’s learning right now; the importance of grounding ourselves; the beautiful reframe and power of intentionality; and Alain says, "Leadership is everyone’s business. And if you’re really keen on growing yourself, the number one thing you can do is reach out to other people and ask for some feedback. And find people who are going to tell you the good and the bad and the ugly— you have to ask everyone out there. Leadership— and personal personal and professional development— is much better done when traveling in groups. So find a support team, coaches, some allies, that can help you on the path." He emphasizes being of service as a leader and that we can all find ways to do that. Definitely listen to this interview, very inspiring!

What do we do when we don’t know where to look for leaders or know how to find It ourselves? I feel a responsibility to lead; I talk about the compassion required of a leader, and the noise vs looking within; we talk about who leaders we look to are (that’s a little harder than we thought!); I speak about what leading looks like for me in podcasting and life; and we talk the New Moon and Intentions.
