Hello friends! I am so excited for today’s episode because it’s all about branding! As a personal branding photographer and coach, “brand” is something of a buzzword that we hear a LOT. Sometimes as creative business owners, we aren’t really sure if we have a strong brand or not. I’m thrilled to be talking to Lisa Aihara today who will be taking us on an active and visual journey of self-discovery as she opens up about the power in her own brand, introducing a newfound and compelling conflict between professional ambitions and creative desires.
A little bit about Lisa – she found herself swept off her feet by the tight-knit community of creative entrepreneurs in the wedding industry. Having built a successful career in online marketing for Disney Ecom, she couldn’t ignore the creative itch that needed scratching. At 30, Lisa decided to take a leap of faith and start her own wedding stationery business. As she worked with fellow entrepreneurs, she realized her true passion was helping them bring their brands to life. Drawing on her marketing expertise and experiences with big brands like Disney, Sephora, and Nordstrom, Lisa quickly became a go-to expert for those looking to infuse their unique brand into their businesses.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE’RE TALKING THROUGH:
- Harness the undeniable magnetic force of authentic branding to stand out from the crowd
- Grasp the nuances of your target market for a precise, targeted branding game plan
- Escape the trap of perfectionism and unleash a surge of productivity and forward momentum
