Ep 5 Putting Your Audience First: Brand "Boos and Do's" That Matter

What happens when a beloved brand makes a major change without asking their audience first? 

In this episode, Jaime and Jessie share two contrasting case studies: Cracker Barrel's $700M rebrand disaster that stripped away the nostalgic elements customers loved, and the Savannah Bananas' $6M commitment to their "Fans First" brand value when a ticketing mistake went wrong. 

We discuss why putting your audience first isn't just good practice—it's essential to brand survival. 

If you've ever wondered whether to get customer feedback before making a big brand decision, this episode answers that question.
