What happens when business owners mistake brand strategy for marketing strategy? These (alongside business strategy) are often-confused with businesses. In this episode I discuss how strategy is the cornerstone of your business's identity—an evolving area that must be constantly revisited to stay relevant and impactful. I discuss why a strong brand strategy goes beyond visuals and how it shapes your entire business persona and sets the stage for all marketing efforts.
