Listen "Building Desire & Honing Harmony"
Episode Synopsis
Picture this: A room full of 5 yr olds listening to 'Golden' - when that three-part harmony hits... their little faces lit up - they could feel the harmony (and I got about 1000 cool points from my kids for being the mum who not only came in for career day, but managed to work KPop Demon Hunters into my presentation about Colour Psychology) If your visual brand is as on-point right now as the Huntr/x high-notes - customers are doing the exact same thing as those kids. They're lighting up in your funnels, on your website and in your social feeds.But how do you know if you're peddling visual harmony or discord?In today's episode, I'm breaking down why some brands make you feel instant trust while others make you want to close the tab (even though you probably can't quite explain why).The neuroscience of how your brain processes visual harmony (and why your brand should care)What Gordon Ramsay and fine dining can teach us about brand consistencyThe five elements I adjust most often in Design Time hot seats (and how to audit yours)Why mixing colour groups creates the same discomfort as notes out of tuneHow to identify visual discord in your brand using the "scramble test"Real metrics: why harmonious brands show higher conversions, longer time on site, and better word-of-mouthThe biggest harmony pitfalls facing most Founders, and how to fix themLINKS FROM TODAY:Starling Bank rebrand analysis: https://www.tiktok.com/@joyfirstworld/video/7550797369546198294Free Brand Personality Quiz: https://go.jnicholesmith.com/quizBook a Call to talk about your rebrand: https://go.joyfirstworld.com/brandingDM me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jnicholesmith Hosted on Acast.
