The Branding Lab

By: Yvonne Ivanescu
  • Summary

  • What is branding? Does my business need to have a brand? Isn’t branding just a logo and a website? What is more important marketing or branding? And the biggest question of all, how do I even start building a brand? When host, Yvonne Ivanescu, decided to create her brand, Now in Rio, an ethical swimwear label, she ended up asking herself the same questions, and wanted to find the answers.

    The Branding Lab podcast is a series of honest, informative, and open conversations with industry leaders, designers, and strategists who create and design the brands we love and interact with every day. Each episode will provide advice on how to brand your business from finding your values, purpose, and vision to strategies for engaging with your audience through effective marketing, understanding your brand story, written and visual communications, and so much more.

    Tune in as we explore what it takes to build a truly strategic, heartfelt brand.

  • How My Business BLEW UP in Two Months | Behind the Brand
    Aug 2 2021
    Guess what, my business blew up in just two months of launching and I made over 6 figures with my launch. Actually, that's a lie, and it's a lie that is being fed to many entrepreneurs out there.

    The old narrative is that starting a business is hard. In fact, it takes at least 3 years for you to become profitable. But that has been replaced with a new narrative. A narrative that says that you can blow up your business in less than 6 months and easily make 6-figures, no problem. But the problem with that narrative is that it isn't telling the whole story.

    In this episode of Behind the Brand, we talk about how businesses just don't BLOW UP, and if they do, it's because of three very specific reasons.

  • 13. Using Design Thinking in Branding with Juliana Reveiz
    Jul 12 2021
    What is human-centred design and what role does it play in branding? How can brands and businesses use design thinking to go beyond the traditional business models and focus on customer empathy and real-world experiments?

    In this episode, Juliana and I talk about the power of using design thinking in branding, specifically addressing each of the five stages of Design Thinking, which are Empathise, Define (the problem), Ideate, Prototype, and Test. We also talk about how Juliana implemented all five of these steps working with a limousine company during her time as an MA student studying Brand Management at Macromedia University in Berlin.
