Are You Poisoning Your Brand? Better Get Wicked Cool
YoStella: Build a Better Business - Inspiration for Improving Your Brand, Marketing & People
Manage episode 513186776 series 3669301
A spooky frame with serious business value: we take on the three “monsters” that quietly destroy brand trust—zombie inconsistency, Frankenstein incoherence, and ghostly invisibility—and show exactly how to defeat each one. If your feeds feel busy but empty, your teams run in different directions, or your great product remains hard to find, this conversation gives you a clear map to recover momentum.
We start by naming the zombie patterns that drain engagement: sporadic posting, trend-chasing without relevance, and channels spread too thin. Then we walk through the practical spell to bring a brand back to life—identify the real audience, pick fewer platforms with higher fit, build a tight content calendar, and add collaboration and creativity to earn attention rather than plead for it. From there, we tackle the Frankenstein problem: clever parts with no shared purpose. You’ll hear how a small set of KPIs unifies PR, social, and sales, and why three core functions—strategy, design, and writing—create the “nervous system” that turns activity into coherence.
Finally, we meet the saddest monster: the ghost. Great offering, no discoverable presence. We lay out a foundation-first fix using bell, book, and candle—a fast, trustworthy website; a documented identity and strategy; and active campaigns to light the path for buyers. Along the way, we offer a simple diagnosis to decide where to focus next so you stop wasting time and start compounding trust. Subscribe, share with a teammate who needs a strategic reset, and tell us: which monster threatens your brand the most—and why?
