What does it actually mean to have a ‘quirky’ brand, and how does it work for some brands? That is what we are talking about today. This episode focuses on the letter Q in our branding series, exploring "quirky" as a powerful branding strategy. I argue that infusing your brand with a playful, unexpected essence can set you apart in a crowded market. Quirkiness goes beyond surface-level traits; it represents a brand's essence, tone, and connection to the audience, making brands more relatable. There is a striking balance between quirkiness and professionalism, and I want to stress the importance of authenticity in branding. Reflect on your brand's identity and emotional connections to develop a distinctive, impactful presence.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
