Thanks for these tips, Alex! Really helpful article and love engaging naturalness and authenticity into brand building. I think authentic is my favorite word! (and love your anime take, btw! 😂)
"Poke people" might be the best networking strategy I’ve never seen in a marketing book—simple, disarming, human.
Also love how you gave permission to be weird on purpose. I’ve spent too long trying to sound like a polished LinkedIn bot when all anyone really wants is the guy who’s obsessed with cereal box design and writes like a caffeinated poet.
Weird metaphors and public messiness? Yes, please.
This felt like a creative espresso shot. Loved the “weird metaphors” and “pick an enemy” tips—seriously underused brand moves. Also, the reminder to entertain yourself while creating? That’s the game-changer. Bookmarking this as my new brand-building checklist. 👊🔥
