Hey, it’s your boy, bobby g from Propr, shouting out from the beach.

Building and marketing your brand is an infinite game played with finite resources. As I’m relaxing on the beach all week, I realize the sun is the perfect metaphor for this. The sun has the power to cast light everywhere, without fail. But no brand has that kind of power. Don’t try to be the sun. Instead, focus your resources with laser accuracy to make a more significant impact.

Start here.

In the b2b game, we are still trying to make authentic connections with people, think P2P, because it is always about helping others. Use direct plain language and messaging, always avoiding hacks and gimmicks. The flowery language might seem like fun, but chances are you’re confusing your audience. Demand consistency across your entire brand in your design, messaging, tone of voice, digital, social, management, and how you interact and treat people. Any inconsistency hurts your brand, requiring additional resources to mitigate or improve. Building and marketing your brand is an infinite game played with finite resources. Use them wisely; now, back to the beach!
