The Vignette Effect

Brand Clarity Now: The Secret to Making Every Marketing Move Count

Episode Summary

In this episode of The Vignette Effect, Raquel unpacks one of the most expensive mistakes entrepreneurs make: waiting to work on brand strategy. Through real client stories, including spending budget on copy and design that couldn't be used versus the relief of getting clarity first, she shows why brand clarity isn’t optional or “someday work.” You’ll learn what brand clarity actually looks like in practice, how it saves time and money, and why now is the best time to get it in place. If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll figure this out after my launch” or “once I grow a little more,” this episode may very well change your mind.
