Unpacking the B-Word: Personal "Branding" for Multi-Passionates
Episode 9
lundi 5 août 2024 • Duration 01:06:45
Listener Jen asked a really big question: "How do you easily add different creative projects while keeping it all in one brand? Or do you?" It was such a big question, Lauren and Rachael decided to dedicate an entire episode to unpacking this common creative quandary. For Chaotic Creatives, "following the fun" is a guiding light; but can too many disparate interests transform the fun house into a house of horrors for your audience? Don't worry! The most important tools to building a coherent personal brand are already in your possession.
