This is very good! Being a copywriter, when I read a post like this, I feel, OK, wow, someone else who gets it. It's almost a relief.

When you talk to your audience as a person, not a crowded room, you have a personal brand. Clear, fun and alive.

Admittedly people in fashion will get this idea quicker than people in fintech (my most recent stints).

Look forward to your next one.

Restacked! This is a great newsletter to identify your brand and perfect client. Much like the character in a book - it’s an art.

Amazing article!! Such a great reminder of the importance of having a clear and relevant identity. Also agree with you on the potential that the Prada Group could represent for Versace. I’ve also worked on a little article about it and I’m so excited to see what’s coming :)

Definitely, it’s an article on how you can style rain boots as part of your outfit during the rainy season. Staying both dry and stylish
