What is the difference between brand collateral vs marketing collateral? First let’s start with defining collateral real quick. It’s any material used to promote and support a business, brand, product, or service. So brand collateral focuses on building and maintaining a consistent brand identity through things like logos, business cards and brand guidelines. Marketing collateral, on the other hand, aims to promote products and services and drive conversions with things like flyers, ads, and email campaigns. In short, brand collateral establishes who you are, while marketing collateral persuades clients to take action. . . #brand #brandcollateral #marketing #marketingcollateral #design #brandstrategist #entrepreneurs

A Brand Strategist is supposed to be a guide to help you find clarity. But we are not all created equally. We all have different strengths, zones of genius, and skill sets. Some only specialize in the strategy itself, some specialize in the implementation of the strategy, some are designers, some are copywriters, some have a lot or a cluster of these skill sets, like me. All are good, but that doesn’t mean that ALL of us can’t help you. It means that you need to have an understanding of the areas you are lacking and being ok with the fact that you can shop around, ask questions, and see what they are bringing to the table. And most importantly, do a vibe check. Creating a Brand Strategy can be an emotionally labor intensive process. It flows better if we can feel each other and relate.

We get so wrapped up in things that are really not that important. Sometimes you just have to start where you are, and that’s OK. We sit around waiting for permission to start our businesses, to sell our products, to talk about our services .

When it comes to showing up in your business, showing up as you true authentic self is the best way to do it. What I find is that some of my clients have a “professional” version of themselves that they are trying to display, but nothing else. Honestly, it’s boring and it’s not real. There is a balance between being relaxed and yourself and still displaying all of your wisdom and knowledge. . . . #brandidentity #brandvoice #brandstrategist #entrepreneurs #businesstips #servicebasedbusiness

Documenting everything in your head and doing frequent brain dumps is a hack that not a lot of ppl are talking about. If you’re an expert that just does not have the time to go through the process of “creating” everyday, this is a great way to set yourself up to produce original content and even delegate to a VA that is helping you get content posted.

We can be so hard on ourselves as entrepreneurs. We are experts in our own right, but yet we continue to doubt ourselves and compare our knowledge to our people’s knowledge.

We have invested time, money and relationships into our knowledge and network. Time to start harvesting some of that. Check out the full YouTube video by commenting the word Expert.
