So you’ve committed to, and prioritized your social media presence. You’ve thought about your audience, found a ton of free image content you can use, and started posting pretty regularly… you think.

Let’s talk about feelings for a minute. Don’t worry, it’s not a heart-to-heart about your innermost dreams and desires. We’re talking about the feelings your branding creates. It’s often said that your brand design and messaging should create a feeling, but there isn’t as much said about what the heck that means. How do you […]
