The cozy learning library

One of my business values is that generosity always wins. Rather than dumping my best free stuff into a PDF and locking it behind an email opt-in form, I prefer to leave it all here for you to enjoy at your own pace. If you love what you read here and want deeper insights into the topics covered in my blog posts, then my email list is probably the best next step for you!

How to connect deeply with your audience (all about brand resonance)

This post was originally sent as a newsletter in The Cozy Corner. If you’re not subscribed to my email list, you can learn more here. Hey friends! In the last email, I introduced you to an important concept called relevance. If you missed that email or haven’t read it yet, you can do so here. […]

Be Netflix, not Blockbuster (all about brand relevance)

In 2007, Netflix made a massive business pivot. They introduced a new online streaming service, a notable change from their core DVD-by-mail offer. It was risky, but it paid off. By 2009, Netflix streams overtook DVD shipments as their most popular service.

Making the shift from physical to online was an expert move, because soon enough, Netflix was the largest source of streaming traffic, taking up to 30% of all internet traffic (that literally blows my mind) with their streaming services.

Deep down, we all just want to connect with other people who light up about the same stuff as us

We all want to be part of something bigger, even if it’s about something small. Whether it’s a favorite lip product or navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, any brand can offer their audience a flag to rally behind and say, “people like us do things like this.” Consumers are actively searching for businesses that deliver them real, sustained value over time.

The way forward is to create a world people can connect with and feel seen by. Where they can understand that they are not alone. Creating a brand world gives your audience agency to explore at their own pace and raise their hand when they are ready to say, “I want to be part of the story you’re writing.” 

If this approach to marketing and business resonates with you, I think you’ll fit in really well around here. When you’re ready, the best place to start is my Build Your Brand World email series.
