Show Notes
In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with Branding Strategist and Founder of InnerVisions ID, Sapna Pieroux.
After completing her degree in graphic design, Sapna took a post-graduate degree in Marketing to understand the business side of her work. She started her career in marketing, and often had to brief designers. She soon felt the frustration that many businesses experience when they received designs that didn't match what they really wanted. She later moved into a graphic design agency where she experienced the opposite, working with clients who struggled to communicate their needs in ways that enabled her to deliver great work.
When she later came to work directly with small business owners on their branding, she saw a misunderstanding of what a brand really is. She also saw how entrepreneurs struggled to visually communicate their value and difference. So she took their questions and experiences, and developed her six-step VISION process, and shared this in her award-winning book 'Let's Get Visible'. Her VISION process helps demystify branding for small business owners, so they can make their brand and marketing assets work for them.
Listen to this episode to understand the VISION process, what a brand really is and how you can make it work for your business.
To me, design is a way to solve a business problem. A great brand starts with your business strategy and vision, and represents the quality and experience that you offer. - Sapna Pieroux
