Hi friends, I’m so excited to welcome you to today’s episode of the Brand Strategy Podcast where we’re diving in with a little tough love specifically for my fellow entrepreneurs who’ve been dreaming of elevating their brands—but are feeling a block when it comes to taking that next step.

Today, I want to walk you through the three biggest blocks that are unintentionally holding you back from elevating your brand and reaping all the benefits of what that investment brings.

3 blocks that are holding you back from elevating your brand

and reaching your goals

Over the past seven years as a brand designer and strategist, I’ve worked with hundreds and hundreds of creatives just like you who are in active seasons of growth within their businesses.

So be sure to grab a second cup of coffee and let’s get to it.

My name is Bonnie – I’m a brand designer, strategist, and writer which all adds up to one eclectic conglomeration of qualities that enables me to serve you well! Past clients have dubbed me "the Joanna Gaines of brand design," and I've had more than a few call me a dream maker, a game changer, and a design wizard (my Harry Potter-loving heart didn't hate that one, let me tell you!). At the end of the day, I'm a big-hearted creative who will get teary-eyed as you share the heart behind your business; who will lose sleep over the perfect font pairings and color selections to bring your brand to life visually; and who will work tirelessly to empower, encourage, and equip you to share your work with the world intentionally.
