How to build a brand that inspires community with Kat Schmoyer on the Brand Strategy Podcast. | b is for bonnie design #brandstrategy #community

Friend, I’m so excited to welcome you to today’s episode of the Brand Strategy Podcast where I’m chatting with my sweet friend Kat Schmoyer about how to create a brand that cultivates a sense of community.

Kat is a mamaprenuer, founder of Creative at Heart and wedding planner! With almost 6-years experience in the world of small business, and 3 brands under her belt, she has grown her dream from a glorified hobby to a profitable business that allows both herself and her husband to make entrepreneurship their 9-5! She loves working from home with her husband and son, has a slight obsession with things pink and could talk all day about #bachelornation !! 

This is a conversation I’m so excited to invite you into because there’s so much potential in how we as entrepreneurs can utilize our brands to not only inspire good through our work, but also to build community, connection, and camaraderie through our work.

So with that I’m so excited to dive in.

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.
