Does your product speak for itself? Early on, especially after some positive feedback on how delicious their products are, many food business owners believe that having a great product is enough. And while your product IS important, when it comes time to grow and scale up your business, a great product is not enough to set you apart.

In this episode, I'll explain what makes a food brand stand out in today’s market, including:

  • Why a great product alone won’t lead to long-term growth
  • What successful brands do differently to build momentum
  • How story, strategy, and consistency invite customers into a brand they want to support
  • A real example of how a client went from making a great product to building a strong brand

✨ Ready to see where your brand could be stronger as you get ready to scale up?
