This is digital marketing strategy, not brand strategy. Your helping him convert online, which is GREAT.

Why people buy -- and hopefully that answer is based on solving a customer problem. Jimmy John's and Mod Pizza both saw a need for faster lunches in business districts.

@@thefutur All good questions to help someone sell their expertise. But it's finding and owning a position over the long term that drives preference in a highly competitive market, right? Sales/marketing vs brand.
Can we just call Chris the god of brand strategy? I've been following him for years now and he's basically changed my mindset...i literally speak to clients, ask them tough questions and tell them to go think before they answer those questions, and when they come back to me unable to answer, they just say...." man now i understand your job, you're a professional...take my money lets do this" i love that. i owe you alot chris.

I also love their videos, I'm not liking something I didn't see yet. Basic logic. Disliking something that didn't aired yet is as stupid as liking it. Based on your logic, it makes perfect sense to dislike the video before, since you assume it based on your experience, the guy disliking before could also dislike based on his previous experience with the channel.
@@tgty5519 considering the experience Chris brings, the podcast he has I’ve listened to, and his entire ethos and work ethic I know the content he brings will be relevant and allow me to develop myself as a creative, hence liking it before it airs, I do not see the point in a dislike option at all because you can just not watch whatever the content is or unsubscribe. I am not going to debate my point any further as I know this video will allow us all to elevate our creativity and thought process.
I don't know about The Futur that much ... when i start realize the futur more and more on social platform and video based platforms on internet that means it gets more popular today. My brain just recognized as a "THE GREAT BRAND" of its category. Why is that and i don't know. Every video and topic is top notch quality and they pushed to the highest end as far as possible. Damn.. i love futur and they are literally branding themselves so well.
Sir, You just amazing human being.. That one thing you always say 'i am trying to help you' bring be a confident.. i never skip a video of you that i have watched. Rifshan Shehan from sri lanka
Literally, like literally, the exact same problem I was having! I love strategy, it turns me on, but I am still quite new to the game. I knew I needed to learn how to ask the right questions, I just didn't exactly know what those questions were. I picked up a few here and there on this channel, But then I didn't know how to structure my questions, and then Chris sends out a notification on Linkedin about my issue, linking to this video. Its freakin perfect timing. I really learnt a lot from this short video, it was exactly what I needed in my journey to become a brand strategist/designer. I look forward to the next video.
Perfect timing. I just came to the quite obvious realization that i can't provide web development and design services without offering branding. And I defined branding as marketing, then marketing as advertising, and as we all know advertising is sleazy. So yeah, could use some guidance from a trusted source to get my head right.
You should be able to offer those with a decent understanding of brand. And please jesus do not define branding as marketing, and marketing is much more than advertising. I'd recommend looking into each of those disciplines and their interplay
Also, there is nothing sleazy about advertising unless that's what's being brought to it. People need advertising to find the solutions that alleviate their problems and pain. Advertisement done right is an incredible service to people
I often feel like the futur reads my mind. Just two days ago I was thinking.. Damn I wish they could update a video on brand strategy. Today... Boom. Thanks guys, I love this. I promise to buy a course once I make enough money from my business. (we're getting close)
Although I loved the main focus of this video, my favourite part of this was probably, "DON'T CHARGE BASED ON TIME, CHARGE BASED ON RESULT". I read this in another light, that is, I see it as "designer and client relationship". It shows the client that you are willing to give the time to get the result they want. Not just do some quick job, make a quick buck and see ya later... Thank you @UC-b3c7kxa5vU-bnmaROgvog ...
I love the way you ask the questions Chris. That reminds me a lot of the book "The Coaching Habit". It was wonderful seeing what I learnt put into application here.
Such a good video! Because of The futur I was able to land a sale for a brand identity design higher than I ever thought I could before your channel 🙏🏾 thank you!
this is so good that it looks scripted like seriously content is getting amazing day by day and its just too much to consume too little time LOVE the channel
Brand basically means to engaging your customers. You don’t need too many people to get sign in. Your goal depends on the responses on the feedback. Most of the time you may be doing free advert, fine. You can convert that to business strategy to win more customers. The guy spending $5,000 to boost his brand for only 5people responses. He asked, if building with $3,000 does not worked? What will happen? The Training Master said, you keep pushing until you get more people that will sign up 👆
There's something that I still don't get: how can a designer without a strong PORTFOLIO and NETWORK, who comes from his/her BEDROOM proves that he/she worth the money? Btw, The Futur and Chris are the best professionals on helping the designers business I ever saw. Thanks a lot.
Charles, does the bedroom limit your worth? if so, then we are worth the same right now because I'm creating content, doing virtual talks and running workshops from my bedroom. Is it your portfolio that determines your value? What if I sold you my portfolio? would that allow you to charge more? What if I had your portfolio? would I be forced to charge less? You value = the quality of the questions you ask.
This is certainly strategy (more business strategy) and the example used best illustrates a sales call where one is investigative and peeling away at the challenge vs 'Brand' strategy! Great content nonetheless! Being the semantic queen over here! LOL
Few minutes into the video, I am learning something. Thanks for sharing your passion, this was great. Liked and subscribed from a small TH-camr comedian. Excited to watch your journey and creations 😃

You would be correct. This stuff is creating more designers who are waaaay out of their depth, selling something they have no clue about and harming both the clients, and the industry as a result. It's threading very closely to the "snake oil salesmen" territory.
Hey could anyone please guide me how to find brand strategy and brand design clients leads ( Like what how to find a business that probably need brand strategy/consultancy) thanks in advance :)
Is there a ballpark rule for estimating how many leads your client need to turn into actual customers? My clients always give me a goal and ask if that's reasonable but I never know how many make it through the sales funnel to say if that goal is realistic.
there isn't. you should just ask them. it depends on industry and platform. you can ask your client, what is the industry average? how would your competition answer this question?
The video is fine and everything, but may be I missed the point of the relation between the video and the title, I still don't fully understand the term of brand strategy.
I mean those were some good questions and a good perspective as to how to look at your numbers of sign ups but I didnt learn: What Is Brand Strategy And How To Do It
Fair enough. It’s a deep subject. Maybe we can continue down this line. But this is the big reset that people need to understand. Find the goal. Formulate a plan.
@@janhachmann9753 I agree about the title but like they replied deep subject, and like you said good content. The best part... @theFutur went back and changed the title adding Step 1. Honestly deserves BIG ups actually responding to comments with action. Great job guys!

Hello kindly help me. We have a brand but we didn’t get the rights and now my cousins are using my goodwill to leverage their business since 2012 but we have no clue what to do. Basically we are a victim of brand cannibalism so I need to know how to go about to gain the goodwill back and the originality back? Kindly help at the earliest 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m from India. A. We need brand awareness. B. We need increased sales. Thank you
For the kid you were talkng with. Advice Your not providing enough value. And your trying to sell the customer your service. Rule #1 - you have to build relationships, thats who customers recommend to thier friends. Some a brand or business they have a relationship with. Your focused on the money not on what will bring you more transactions and customers. I.e (Build relationships, then sell. )
Ok, budget is now $3000. If $100 result in 14 signups then half the budget $1500 should get about 15 x 14 = 210 signups. Boom. Problem solved. (just need to close haha)
