Agree with this.
Your brand is the foundation, once it's solid, every marketing effort you do later works harder for your business.
Let's talk business for a sec.
Most of the time I share my design work and don't really talk business. But this one matters.
If your margins are below 15%, you can't scale without a strong brand. And I'm not trying to sell you my services, trust me as someone with a bachelor's degree in economics.
This is a very well known trap. You scale ad spend, revenue goes up, but your margin gets crushed.
To scale long term you need to get to the point where most of your advertising is brand driven.
If you really want to get to the next level, start building a brand that works for you long term. 🖤
