Marketing vs. Branding

So let’s talk about a big one: marketing vs branding.

You’ve probably been hit with a lot of buzzwords like ROI, synergy, retargeting… and so many others that by now you’ve created your own little biz-lingo dictionary. And it’s also likely that marketing and branding are the two words you see and hear most often. 

Marketing and branding often get lumped together, but they are very different. 

  • Marketing is the actions and strategies you implement to bring your audience to your offers. 
  • Branding is everything that makes your business unique and special - your purpose, vision, values, and goals.

Think of it like this: marketing is how you attract your audience and branding is how you convert them into loyal clients. 

Which comes first?

Some entrepreneurs believe that the first step to building a successful business is to immediately start marketing their offers… but, without a solid branding strategy, it’s very difficult...

Female Entrepreneurs and The Great Resignation

As the year comes to an end one thing is certain, the shift from corporate jobs to freelance work is permanent and growing. Over the last year, more than two million Americans decided to leave the traditional 9-5 and transition to freelance work. There are obvious reasons why this massive movement took off but many economists and employers assumed normalcy would return. However, there is little evidence suggesting that workers will go back to business as usual.
 
Over the past year, women left the workforce en masse. Overworked and under-appreciated, many chose to leave their careers in search for some balance. Freelance work gives women the opportunity to pursue their passions, build a career, and live a full life. Female entrepreneurs have more control over their daily lives and a greater earning potential. There are no barriers when you own your own business; you get to set the rules and decide how you spend your time. 
 
Of course owning a business is challenging...
