Ian Peterman of Peterman Design Firm on the Importance of Branding

Once You Get Branding Down, Everything Else Comes Easier

 

Ian Peterman Notable Quotes

“Wrong branding is really only in the lens of your actual customer. So, for one person, it could be terribly branded, and for the next person, it could be the best. Are you branding it to the people you really want to work with or want to sell to?”
Ian Peterman

“The brand is really a communication device between you and your customers. You’ve got to think about what is your niche, who are you going after, who do you want to serve? You’ve also got to know who you are.”
                                                – Ian Peterman

“Changing direction isn’t quitting. That’s surviving and evolving and growing.”
                                                – Ian Peterman
