    The Power of a Rebrand with Tiffany Sondergaard, Ep.144

    The Power of a Rebrand with Tiffany Sondergaard, Ep.144

    “I need to go back to my roots”  – Tiffany Sondergaard on the Power of her Rebrand

     

    Branding expert and owner of –ts Brand Elevation, Tiffany Sondergaard, joins me on today’s Empowered By Design podcast episode to discuss the power of a rebrand.   When the chaos of 2020 propelled Tiffany to re-evaluate her business, as so many professionals were forced to do in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic, she said “this is no longer working”. Tiffany did not throw in the towel and give up on her dream biz. She recognized a powerful solution for her life and business:  “I need to go back to my roots”. 

     

    Tiffany is passionate about working with clients who are dedicated to making a positive change in this world! She discusses her passion of empowering her clients to align their business energy with their core values and living with peace and purpose. In this episode and in her biz, Tiffany discusses her experience with rebranding and how she helps her clients elevate their brands - and their businesses - to achieve their dreams!

     

    Her word for 2024 is “expansion”.

     

    With over 20 years of experience helping clients take their brands to new levels, Tiffany implements boldly creative and strategically focused public relations initiatives, media campaigns, event marketing, and talent representation. Her inspired ideas and meticulous execution give her clients the exposure and reach necessary for greater brand awareness, engagement, loyalty, growth and navigate the rebranding process.

     

    Formed by Tiffany Sondergaard in 2019 as –ts PR & Event Planning, --ts Brand Elevation is a rebrand itself, born from Tiffany’s genuine passion for all things media and events – and is fueled by her keen ingenuity, vibrant originality, and strategic thinking. “–ts” is a nod to how Tiffany signs her name – and indicates that her distinct touch is on everything the agency creates.

     

    Having held creative and management roles within major New York marketing communications and public relations firms, Tiffany now applies that experience and insight for the benefit of her clients here in the Lehigh Valley. Career highlights include the design and execution of national publicity campaigns, strategic marketing communications programs, and innovative product launch events for a myriad of clients.

    Common signs that a company should consider rebranding:

    Signs can include shifts in the market, changes in target audience preferences, or an evolution in the company's values. 

    Rebranding can be a significant undertaking. Potential benefits that a company can expect from rebranding:

    Rebranding can enhance relevance, appeal to new audiences, and differentiate from competitors. I myself took on a rather large rebrand after covid.  93% of consumers trust recommendations for goods or services from people they know. According to 82% of investors, the brand name plays a significant role in their investments. The basis of 64% of brand relationships is shared values. Employers with poor branding pay 10% higher salaries.

    Hiring seasoned event staff was challenging and I had to look at the service my company was providing wedding clients and be honest with myself.  I saw that we (although we were doing our best) were unable to provide the --ts experience for 200 guest weddings a

    Soar in 2024! Celebrate + Illuminate with a Card Pull! Ep.141

    Let’s Celebrate! In this episode, we celebrate our wins from 2023 and illuminate our path to soar in 2024! I share with you the Angel Number message 111 from “The Angel Numbers Book: How to Understand the Messages Your Spirit Guides Are Sending You” by Mystic Michaela. We do a card pull from “The Wild Unknown Archetypes” Deck and Guidebook by Kim Krans. For me, pulling cards is a fun way to illuminate and bring attention to some important messages from the beyond and information that might be hiding below the surface of our conscious awareness. We make meaning of the cards in our lives right now, reflecting on and celebrating where we have been, and illuminating a plan of action in line with our vision and dreams for the future!

    Angel Number message for #111 from “The Angel Numbers Book: How to Understand the Messages Your Spirit Guides Are Sending You” by Mystic Michaela - “111: Screenshot - Pause and reset your thinking. When you see 111, think of the universe as taking a “screenshot” of your frame of mind right now. Everything that is going on - all your thoughts, feelings, goals, and dreams - is going to be replicated. Get on a high vibe quickly, so you can manifest your best life moving forward. Repeat the mantra: ‘I am in alignment with my authentic self’”.
