            • Pros and cons of a personal brand alongside the business one – do we need both? Are they the same thing? Or two different things? Also any thoughts on a brand mascot 😆 🐝

            WHAT ARE YOUR VALUES?

            This is a topic that has come up a couple of times with clients recently. Values are an important part of helping you build and shape your brand both internally and externally. They guide your decisions and actions and hold you accountable.

            At BrandStorm, we have 4 core values we live by:

            • Well done on the post Rob. A shout out to anyone thinking of doing one of Rob’s free Brand Audits, get it booked in. I had mine yesterday and really found it very useful.

                  Mine is this orange phone holder. I have had it years and love the retro-vibe of it (and it is one of my brand colours 😉).
