Brand Your Passion Hollie Arnett

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with the extremely talented illustrator, Eliza Williams of Doolittle Illustrations. In this episode, Eliza shares her journey as an illustrator and talks about her experience going viral on Instagram, ending her up on the wrong side of the platform and having her account removed (don’t worry - she got it back!). She shares her thoughts on creating a community, not a following, and why she believes that connection is at the core of all of her greatest successes. Eliza also shares her experience of doing an art residency in Japan, her collaboration with Spotify, and some awesome little nuggets of wisdom for creatives from her own experiences.

Get ready for a blast from the past. This week we’re tuning back into one of our favourite episodes because it’s just too good not to share again and something that feels very relevant right now.

In case you didn’t know it already, brand values are the backbone of your business – they guide your decisions, keep you aligned with your vision, and communicate to your audience who you are and what you stand for.

In this episode, I’m breaking down EVERYTHING you need to know about writing your brand values.

Today we’re talking about DIYing your branding and how to know if you’ve nailed it, or… failed it.

I’m diving into EVERYTHING you need to know to DIY your branding in a way that not only looks good but makes sense for your brand, your vision and mission, and your overall goals for your creative business.

I want to help you remove the self-doubt and give you some practical steps to connect your brand strategy, brand identity and marketing in a way that feels good to you, attracts your dream clients and reflects who you are as a brand and individual.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about a topic that I’m very passionate about and quite frankly I think more entrepreneurs need to be talking about, and that’s the importance of prioritising your mental health as a creative. I’m breaking down 10 simple yet life-changing tips to help you better prioritise and manage your mental health whilst marketing your creative business. No more feeling overwhelmed by to-do lists, societal pressure or trying to do everything yourself… It’s time to learn how to thrive in your creative business without burning out, and taking care of what’s really important… YOU.

This week we are doing the ol' switcheroo and I am stoked to share an episode from Lauren's podcast on my podcast. In this episode, Lauren talks all about how to keep going which is episode 2 of a 3 part series that she did on how to get started, how to keep going, and how to finish - an area that a lot of us creatives need a little help in.

And as I share Lauren's episode on this podcast, Lauren is interviewing me over on her podcast! Once you’ve binged this episode, head on over to the Making Good podcast to listen to that one!

Are you ready to grow your audience, attract new customers and get more building-building opportunities on repeat? This episode is where I tell you exactly how. We’re ditching the ol’ “throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks” approach and shifting our focus to something more powerful and actually useful… branding.
