Jason Davis talks with Jason Barnard about pretty is easy, smart is hard.
Jason Davis is CEO of NerdBrand Agency. Jason has been creating custom WordPress websites for over a decade and is fed up with boring content that is copied and pasted into a commercial theme, a product that someone else designed and anyone can buy in a marketplace. With a unique digital brand identity for your business, you remove all doubt and confusion about your brand among employees and customers. Allow NerdBrand to help you build your confidence and optimism for the future of your business so you can attract more customers.
It’s a misconception that branding is just about creating distinctive logos, catchy taglines, and engaging websites. Reducing it to these elements oversimplifies the complex nature of branding. While it is true that creating a brand with visually appealing elements can be simple, this is only one facet of what branding is about.
In this delightful episode, Jason Davis reveals brilliant tidbits about the importance of effective branding and design in the digital world. And while most people explain what branding is, Jason gives a great insight into “what branding isn’t”. Jason also goes into why brand consistency is incredibly essential, knowing who your target audience is, and how brand design and projection affect customer attraction.
As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Jason passes the virtual baton to next week’s wonderful guest, Sara Moccand-Sayegh.
