  Ditch the Beige Branding: Bring More Color and Personality Into Your Business With Chloe Richardson

  Sep 29, 202646 min

  Beige branding is safe. But it’s also forgettable. In this episode of Dear Creator, I sit down with Chloe to talk about why "professional" doesn't have to mean bland, and why the businesses that stand out are the ones brave enough to bring their real personality into their brand. Chloe is a Designer, strategist, customer experience enthusiast (nerd?), and someone with an alarming amount of opinions about businesses making things harder than they need to be. She works with service businesses to fix the way their brand feels, from first impression to final touchpoint. She shares her journey from hospitality marketing at one of Australia's largest venue groups to running her own full-time design and CX business, including the money struggles, accountability challenges, and identity shifts that came with going independent. We dig into how to build a brand that's actually you instead of a beige copy of your competitors, how to map a customer journey that builds real trust, and why small "ick" moments (like ManyChat auto-replies) can quietly kill customer loyalty. Plus, the customer experience story so good it'll make you cry. Connect with Chloe: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crcbrands/ Website: crcbrands.com.au

  Why Using AI to Write Your Brand Voice is Killing Your Business with Delia McCowan

  Sep 1, 202648 min

  Have you ever used ChatGPT to write your website copy, Instagram captions, or About page? You’re not alone. And you’re not a bad business owner for doing it. In this episode, I talk to Delia, founder of Tidewater Studio, who’s a brand strategist and copywriter. We talk about how using AI might be a shortcut that is quietly costing entrepreneurs the one thing that actually gets them clients, customers, brand recognition, and their own authentic brand voice. Delia is a brand strategist and copywriter working with founders, service providers, and creative businesses to build communities that buy from you, because of you. After working in every facet of corporate marketing, she took the leap into entrepreneurship, working with business owners to go beyond “what makes them different”, guiding you through how you can use your personality and perspectives as a core part of building your brand. She’ll break down why AI-generated copy is hurting your brand personality across the internet, how founders can rebuild trust in their own perspective, and why “professionalism” is due for a societal change of perspective.
