Here in Episode 21, I speak with brand transformation expert, Vicki Young.
Vicki is the personification of the ‘can do’ attitude, and the founder of Nalla – a multi-award-winning branding agency for a fast-paced digital world.
Vicki explains:
How a childhood love of drawing led to a focus on graphic design
How winning an award whilst at university gave her an initial platform
The range of experience and insight she gained from working in a small agency
How she grew by being told ‘no’
How a family bereavement fast-forwarded her plans
How to build rapport and tender for contracts
Why she kept aside a buffer of cash from the outset…and how it saved the business
Why it shouldn’t be seen as a disaster if you have a bad year
How she uses goals and affirmations to drive the business forwards
How Covid-19 changed her perception and measure of success
Why it’s so important to be able to pivot, and not have too many eggs in one basket
And finally, her best branding tips for a new business owner
Vicki’s best advice is to believe in yourself and have the drive that will allow you to achieve your ambitions.
Enjoy!
