Have you ever let a lack of branding keep you from launching a new business, program, or course? So many entrepreneurs find that having clear branding gives them the confidence to do business and therefore launch their ideas into the world. Jess and Gwen with Hey Hello Studio are here to share their four branding tips for new business owners and why you really can start with just the bare bones. 

“There’s always something that makes you stand out.” -Gwen Mocilnikar

Jess and Gwen have been working together for over a decade in various corporate roles. In fact they went to the same school together and lived in the same neighborhood but never knew it. It wasn’t until they were working at American Greetings that they realized how closely connected they were.

As their careers began to take off, they found themselves drawn to the world of entrepreneurship. However changing circumstances and amazing new opportunities kept them from diving headfirst into their first fledgling business. 

Fast-forward a couple of years and they knew it was time. Listen as they share their journey to where they are today and why they credit their corporate careers for the success of their new business, Hey Hello Studio.

For Jess and Gwen branding is the first step to feeling as if you have a legitimate business, but there is no need to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars right in the beginning. Hopefully, if you’re a brand new business owner, your business will look drastically different a year from now. Listen to learn their four branding tips and what’s essential for you to start a legitimate business on a budget.
