One of the important issues in building and growing a business is of course standing out in your industry segment. One of the important ways to do that is to have a visual identity that helps you connect with and attract your best clients, strategic referral partners, and opportunities.
This episode continues a conversation started in other episodes and there are links to those episodes in the show notes.
My brand developer and dear friend Sue Brettell is back this week to discuss one of the subtle but powerful ways to build a strong visual brand and that’s through the use of fonts and font-based logos.
Sue helps entrepreneurs communicate their brand essence by creating compelling visual brand elements and coordinating them into a strong, unified visual brand.
Be sure to listen all the way to the end and I’ll share your cocktail exercise and your action step for this episode
