In this episode, I talk about brand strategy for start-ups. 

Brand strategy is an overused term in the branding industry. I discuss what makes for a good brand strategist and how they can best support businesses. 

Sometimes, design is what's needed. Other times it's support to understand which segment to target and how to discover buyers' wants and needs.

 When working on brand strategy it is essential to be aware that there is a world of difference between the actions you need to take for a start-up to those you would take for an early-stage business to those you would take for an established brand. The work differs, not just because of the size or stage the business has reached but also due to the reason that the business is seeking your support with its brand strategy. 

 I discuss:

 - The different brand strategies

- Proof of concept

- What makes for a good brand strategist

- The different needs that start-ups and early-stage businesses have

- Why choosing names and identifiers needs to be informed by intellectual property law.
