A small hello from us from the Valencia Digital Summit ( VDS ). 👋 We've spent two days listening to inspiring brands and industry thought leaders - it was very insightful! We gained a wealth of knowledge on navigating business growth with emerging AI technologies, sustainability strategies, digital trends, audiovisual innovations, and business financing. One thing that caught our attention was that branding didn't get much airtime, which was surprising given the focus on startups and businesses. We're now even more committed to sharing our knowledge on why branding is essential for new companies! Picture: Marion & Julian from the The Branding Journal's team

We summarized the key insights from the report, so you don't have to. A must read for people working in #branding . https://lnkd.in/d8sAvyTr

An interesting infographic showing how the consumer goods sector is mostly controlled by a few big companies like Unilever, PepsiCo, and Procter & Gamble, which own many popular brands. While it can be tough to compete with these large companies, here's a strategic tip: create brands that connect with not just consumers but everyone involved (employees, investors, partners, communities, nature). Focus on ethical practices like sustainability, fair trade, and transparency. This approach can help your brand stand out from the big players and build strong loyalty among socially-conscious shoppers. Source: https://lnkd.in/eqUqGJjm

We share our journey, successes, and challenges to cultivate loyalty and connection with our audiences. #𝟴: 𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 Our success metrics are closely tied to our purpose. This helps us evaluate our impact and continuously improve in areas that matter. #𝟵: 𝗪𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 Every action we take is rooted in the objective to enhance the world around us, trying to leave it better than we found it. #𝟭𝟬: 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 We recognize that no business is 100% perfect and that every step toward our goals matters.
