Listen Responsively.Yes, you have a brand. Like it or not, the way the public perceives your business (your brand) is an inevitable aspect of simply having a business. A brand is a given. A great brand is deliberate by listening to its audience. To help you take your brand from good to great, Brandy is a weekly conversation that focuses on the strategy and design of brand so you can swiftly apply them to your business.
With collective decades of experience in the creation of brands, hosts Reilly Newman and Scott Saunders deliver brief, deep dives on specific brand and marketing topics through candid conversations so you can achieve your business goals — while avoiding cliches and shallow “insights” you stumble across on typical business marketing podcasts. Instead, this podcast emphasizes the psychological facts and theories behind the strategies and tactics of brand to drive business results.
This top-shelf podcast show is an accompaniment to their bestselling book “Brandy: 101 Sips of Wisdom For Attaining a Successful Brand” and isn't just conversations about theories, but insights derived from real-world applications by working with dozens of businesses on their brand and marketing. It was conceived to make an impact on business owners and marketers alike and was crafted to be sipped, savored, and shared — without any ads!
After consuming Brandy each week, the hope is that you’ll experience increased awareness of your business, your brand, and your audience... and respond accordingly. Listen responsively.
