153#: Why Brand Doesn't Matter, With Paul Cowan

If You Market

Are you wasting time and resources on "Brand"?

Brand is what happens when your busy doing other things. This week on the If You Market podcast we talk with Paul Cowan about Brand, and why it probably isn't something you should worry about. Paul believes most if not all companies should focus on providing a great customer experience and be obsessive about serving their customers. The brand will come naturally, as long as you have a good product and solve a problem you don't need a megaphone to tell people what they should think about you.
