Session: Building an Authentic Brand
Building a brand from scratch can feel anywhere from nebulous to impossible, and everyone at the table tends to have a different vision of what the brand should be. At Expensify, we've focused on trying to make our brand an authentic reflection of who we are: an externalization of our culture and values so we can attract like-minded people to the tribe. Learn how we've approached brand building, from multi-million dollar collaborations with agencies to scrappy, in-house advertising and design projects. We'll discuss various processes and strategies to keep your eye on the prize throughout the long and winding road of building a sustainable brand.
