EP122: Don’t get jerked around by ADA compliance

August 26, 2022 12:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MB

EP119: Why we ask WHY.

August 05, 2022 12:00 - 14 minutes - 10.1 MB

On this episode of the NerdBrand Podcast we’re discussing how you get to step one in branding.  Business owners are busy and consumed by to-do lists that have lists. Step one is lost all the time in the excitement of the pitch or sale. Examples:  I need a website, can you help? Do you do SEO? Can you make an ad? Can you make waffles?  YES, and they are amazing waffles.  But tell us, why you think you need that one thing? What does that mean to you? For sales people, they stick clos...

E116: Social Brands

July 16, 2022 13:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MB

People see your brand first NOT on your website, but on Google.  Do a search in your browser incognito, using your business name, then city. It's not a perfect way to check, but where are you? How do you look? People ask me if we do SEO often. But look at the search results pages on Google. Your site results are not at the top on most searches for terms anymore.  It’s all Google products and social media.  Making your brand social is easier said than done. This DOES NOT mean ignore your ...

E114: What if your brand was drunk?

July 01, 2022 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MB

In this episode, we ask, "What if your brand was drunk?" - There's a purpose here, see if you can catch it. A discussion on Brand Attributes Attributes: a single word used to describe something or a person. You can write more than one down. Let's get real and not write what we think someone wants to hear or is marketable. Imagine your brand is at a party and got a little carried away with the drinks.

Let's get real and not write what we think someone wants to hear or is marketable. Imagine your brand is at a party and got a little carried away with the drinks.

E113: DTC Branding, what is it?

June 24, 2022 12:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MB

First, what is DTC? Direct To Consumer. This cuts the middleman out. That's the case in Drop Shipping. DTC is placing an order, and then you get it at your door. Did Google get it right? A DTC brand controls all parts of the selling experience. From manufacturing the product, marketing, and then selling it online directly to their target end-users. NOTE: Marketing is not BEFORE Brand here.DTC Examples: Dollar Shave Club Allbirds Moft Glossier DTC Branding is not marketing. It’s ab...

June 17, 2022 12:00 - 55 minutes - 38.2 MB

E111: Top 5 Brands that are relevant for 2022

June 10, 2022 12:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

I've talked to people about how we try to develop brands and ad campaigns that hit people in the heart and then the mind. Relevance of your brand is really what I'm talking about. But my word, I really hate to use more perceived jargon. But it is getting to where 1) it's not avoidable and 2) without using it, anything said is left ambiguous and therefore exacerbates the problem I want to fix. That is proper meaning and use of terms for services. Let’s start with this follow up to the most...

E109: Brands that have simplified

May 27, 2022 12:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MB

On this episode of the NerdBrand Podcast, we’re discussing brands that have simplified their look. Some may call it De-branding. The meaning is about how mobile devices have forced designers to change how brands are presented. Particularly their logos. With less space, comes greater priority. (yes, that’s a joke.) Examples: ● Dunkin’● Dominos● LittleCaesars Also - BONUS: Brands you’ve never heard of because they’re not b2c. So think conglomerate. Not a single corporation. Shell’s 9 Bill...

May 20, 2022 12:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

On this episode of the NerdBrand podcast we've heard the term nurture your leads a lot. This has disappeared from vocabulary lately. It's just "get MOAR sales!"

On this episode of the NerdBrand podcast, we’re talking about ad fatigue. Whether it’s a banner ad (Google), Facebook or Social media ad, TV or Radio commercial. These ads cannot be left running without either pausing or retiring from the internet or public view. Without managing your ads, the messages (ads) will be ignored. Or even be or negatively thought of by your audience overshadowing your message or intent. Therefore, you're better off just burning your money.

April 22, 2022 12:00 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MB

On this episode of the NerdBrand podcast we are following up from part 1 with the question: “Does business networking work?” There are a lot of opinions out there on this one. Some strongly say NO, Others say yes, and firmly believe in it. Then there are the few that say “meh”. We dive into these pros and cons or opinions and discuss - Does it work? Not for "sales" or as a business strategy for revenue growth. Why or why not? Protip: Use networking to build rapport and enhance relations...

April 15, 2022 12:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

On this episode of the NerdBrand podcast, we revisit some basics about networking. What networking is for and not for. Brand Awareness locally should be a priority. Not selling. When you meet someone, you have to remember. They are thinking: “What are you going to ask to take something away from me, or give to me?” Suggestions before you go out to an event:  Arrive in a good mood and well-rested.  Do not arrive with any expectations other than meeting people and learning what they do. ...

E102: Is your website ADA compliant?

April 08, 2022 12:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MB

During the pandemic, the topic of ADA compliance for web cooled off. There wasn't much room in the news cycle. ADA requirements can be confusing waters legally. But it’s morally clear the web is to be accessible for all, and it’s just plain smart business to join in. NerdBrand strives to create websites that are accessible to all disabled, partially disabled, and temporarily disabled users. In March 2022, the Justice Department issued updated ADA guidelines for the web: >> Guidance on W...
