Listen on

Episode notes

When you start out as a designer you'll likely focus on the visuals. But as you begin to understand the role design plays in business, you'll start to see the value of good brand strategy, and will want to work closer with your clients to understand and solve deeper business challenges before you work on any design.

For some designers, as they grow in their career they become more interested in the strategy side of branding more than the design, and they may want to focus on that full time. But how can you make the transition from designer to full time brand consultant?

On this weeks podcast we learn how Matt Davies did it. Matt started out as a designer, built an agency and managed a team before becoming a full-time independant brand consultant. Ian interviews Matt to discover his journey, why he made the transition, how he works with clients, and how becoming a brand consultant has allowed him to earn a higher income too.

Matt Davies is a brand & culture strategy consultant, UK top 50 advisor, speaker, co-host of JUSTBranding and the author of 'Storyategy', a book designed to help business owners unlock the power of their brand with a story based branding strategy.
