“It’s hard to know what you need when you just know things aren’t working the way they are.” – Kim Wensel
“If you’re embarrassed to show people your website or your logo—or even talk about what you’re doing—that might be time to invest in a rebrand and dive into your strategy a little more.” – Kali Edwards
“We know we need something to look or feel or sound different about our business, but we’re really scared about whether the investment is right…It’s a long term investment vs. a short term payoff.” – Kim Wensel
”Branding is not the same as marketing. Building a business and building a brand doesn’t mean the customers will automatically come.” – Kim Wensel
“The most important thing I did to get clients was I started going to in-person events and started making friends.” – Kali Edwards
