Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation
- Making the decision to merge your brand with another is a major undertaking and should never be taken lightly OR executed without the right amount of due diligence. Remember, you can like someone and respect what they do, but it doesn’t always mean your philosophies will align in a business setting. Be sure you know what you’re getting yourself into and understand it’s OK to say no
- Utilizing integrated marketing strategies can take your brand to a much higher level. Connecting with others to share content and expose your goods to a new audience opens up a plethora of opportunities that will play a critical role in the growth of your brand
- Avoid potential PR nightmares by having a clear, concise message that translates to a diverse audience. A little controversy can stimulate awareness and sales, but proceed with the proper plan so it doesn’t come unraveled quickly (SEE: Kanye West)
