Episode notes

A prettier logo won’t fix a broken offer. In this episode, I sit down with creative director and brand strategist Rachel Pesso, and we talk about when to rebrand, what actually moves revenue, and how to build a brand that matches the depth of your work. Rachel breaks down the signs you’re out of alignment, the clarity you need before you touch fonts and colors, and the user-experience shifts that turn your website from “pretty brochure” into a conversion tool. We also riff on serial content, photo shoots that elevate your positioning, and creating a through-line when you’re a multifaceted founder. Get ready to learn how to design a brand that not only looks incredible but feels like the next level version of you.
