FINIEN Clarity for Brand Transformations. FINIEN is a purposefully small consultancy led by brand strategi Your company is planning to go through a big transformation.

Now it’s time to switch focus to your brand: A new brand strategy will need to be derived, the perfect brand name crafted, and along with it, a new brand identity rolled out. There are many stakeholders and a lot is at stake, yet it must happen quickly. FINIEN enables CMOs and founders who are facing a brand transformation to reposition their brands for growth through swift strategic, verbal and visual brand clarity. Our core clients are U.S. or Europe-based companies generating at least $5 million in revenue. Our process is unique and transparent. We are located in downtown Long Beach (which in itself is located in Greater Los Angeles), but we work around the world. Even in places that don’t start with ‘Silicon.’

This is FINIEN in a nutshell, a specialized brand consultancy that is far removed from a stodgy agency or a hungry design studio.

The days of simply buying the .ai extension for a future campaign, to have ‘just in case,’ are now long gone.

A Tuesday Hitting The Mark surprise drop ✨

Advertising veteran Jeff Grace and his wife, Stacy, founded the underwear brand KENT super natural basics which uses no synthetics, pesticides, or plastic. Every piece of KENT clothing (even the packaging) is fully biodegradable and compostable, reducing landfill waste and helping to reverse climate change.

This episode felt more like a casual yet fascinating chat between two brand marketing guys who also started their own D2C businesses. So if you seek advice on running (or not running) ads, influencers, optimization, brand authenticity, and brand stories, this episode is for you. And we made sure to drop lots of brand gossip in between.

My lovely friends at Chameleon Collective just published an article about me.

If you and I have not worked together yet, or not in a while, this provides a wonderful overview of my current brand transformation and integration thinking, and work.

We made it into easy sliders, but you can peruse the full post here: https://lnkd.in/eib4jGER

Seeing it being delivered by highly respectable clients and collaborators of mine makes this a tough pill to swallow.

Maybe we entered a phase.

Hopefully it's just a phase.

But what happens when we can't tell what is AI-generated and we have to assume it is from the sender, or the brand? Once we reach that 'ultimate goal,' human (recipient) replies will get really personal. Personal, in a critical way versus an 'Oh, I know you had AI create this, so I let it pass' kind of way.

We had such a blast putting together the brand identity and brand atmosphere for Ireland-based marketing agency and production studio Lemon7.ie

Big props to Founder Jen Bryan for her vision and for letting us go wild on the interiors 🎉

I've always wanted to record the weekly chats Travis and I have. Now I did.

I recorded 30 minutes of ChatGPT throwing out a new word for us to react to. 120 seconds for each. Nothing prepared, so it was impromptu fun. Here are the first four minutes. More to come, next time in higher resolution, promised.

Sure, we have many more thoughts on these first two topics, but this was what we had on our minds in 120 seconds time:

1. Brand Activation
2. Brand Architecture

What did we miss? What are your tips?
