I’ve seen some amazing companies struggle needlessly, being outsold by (and overshadowed by) inferior companies. This can even lead to some owners and companies thinking it’s the fault of the sales department or the sales manager. Be that as it may, there’s something that can undermine the best companies and the best offerings: a brand that doesn’t effectively differentiate you from your competition. What I recommend is this: STOP selling features and start delivering transformations. I've seen first-hand how this can dramatically impact how a company not only sees itself but how the world perceives the company, its value, and its relevance. If this sounds like you, I know what you're capable of and how to help you.

HOW TO (REALLY) MARKET TODAY by David Brier

DBD International, Ltd.

For companies that have reached a plateau where growth has stopped, it’s easy to think you need to release something new or different in your offering. Some even think they need to replace their entire sales team to get in “some real closers.” Yet, what turns companies around is often hiding in plain sight: you stopped telling your story to the world, and the world starting making up your company’s story for you. What I recommend is own your story. Make it a true, but remarkable journey that captures the transformation you alone bring about. The power tools of branding, design, marketing, language, imagery and ingenuity will give you the edge you need.

The 4 Pillars of Growth by David Brier

DBD International, Ltd.

When AJ Adams had me on his podcast as a guest, we spoke about all things important to businesses right now: ● “Branding is the art of differentiation.” ● “Greatest brands start at the outer perimeter where their audience lives and breathes their values, their passions, their objections, and their aspirations.” ● “The best and greatest brands are built on shared values they have with their audience.” ● “The difference between strategy and design is everything.” ● “The two races people in business should never be part of: 1) The race to the bottom (cheapest price) and 2) The race to the top (trying to ‘out-feature’ your competition).” ● “Clients and customers only care about the fact that your product serves as a connecting strand between where clients are now and the place where they want to be in the future.”

BRANDING IS THE ART OF DIFFERENTIATION by David Brier and AJ Adams

DBD International, Ltd.

Businesses today are frantic over HOW to get attention, HOW to stand out, HOW to remain relevant. Are you a business owner looking to get your business out of “plateau mode” and into “growth mode”? Maybe you’ve probably put in countless hours and invested heavily in “marketing tactics” that you thought would be a magical formula for you and your business... And while there are some marketing tactics that do work great, they will NEVER work without mastering this ONE thing first… And that “one thing” is your BRAND. If I offered to teach you every brand strategy I’ve used with my highest paying clients for the past 40+ years over the course of just 8 weeks so that... You start winning business based on your VALUE and NOT on lower price. You create a revitalized and COMPELLING brand that will attract your target audience. You succeed in ANY and ALL market conditions (even in the midst of today’s craziness). ALL WITHOUT having to waste your budget on the bottomless pit of advertising… …would you take me up on that offer? If so, feel free to reach out.

Brand and rebranding expert, David Brier, outlines how everything starts with a story. And that if you don't give the market the story to talk about, they'll define your brand's story for you. And it won’t be the story you want. Brands, entrepreneurs, creators, and CEOs (and anyone who seeks to accomplish anything) need a guide. A map to get from here to there. In this short video, David outlines a map—one way to frame how you approach your brand. And the role a story plays in building your brand.

In the face of the news of Google beginning to remove cookies from Chrome (30m users at the time of writing), there’s no longer time for marketers to throw their hands up and say “I didn’t know” or “They won’t go through with it”. Reality check - it has already begun - the time to take action is now. The good news is that there are solutions available and ready for adoption… but for many the race to catch up to the modern internet risks being a messy, confusing scramble to get back to "normal"
