Episode 167: Stop Confusing Branding & Marketing
Episode 167
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out whether you need branding, marketing, PR, content creation, or copywriting… this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Most business owners aren't confused because they're inexperienced — they're confused because the industry has done a poor job defining its own terms. Everyone uses the same words to mean different things, and people end up hiring the wrong kind of help at the wrong time. To help you avoid losing time and money, I explain the real definitions behind the terms and give you a clear roadmap so you finally know what your business actually needs next. I also share why I shifted from calling myself a PR strategist to a brand strategist — and how that shift helped my clients get far better, more sustainable results. We'll talk about: The real difference between branding, marketing, and PR (not the misleading versions) Why branding must come before marketing — always Why most business owners hire the wrong help How the industry created the confusion you feel My experience writing radio spots, restaurant ads, and ad campaigns for brands like Jeep and Nabisco The moment I realized PR wasn't enough My signature formula: Brand Identity + PR = Reputation How to know whether you need branding, PR, or marketing right now And if you want support building your identity, strengthening your reputation, and becoming the go-to in your field, I invite you to join me inside the Category of One Brand Lab.
