2/If you wanna build a brand, focus on building a community. Simple things -- empathy, authenticity, humility, humor, patience -- these things build relationships like crazy. 🚀

My clients know what it means to #LookForTheOrangeSunglasses 😎

Humility scales. 👍

“Great marketing doesn’t feel like marketing, it tells a story.” - @EmmaLoggins, Founder and Editor-in-Chief at @FanBolt #OTTFest19

[Adam Marx #🟦 ✡️ @adammarx13]

Watching the panel with @emmaloggins, Alex Korn, @jamesvaldes, & Austin Keen on branding and social networking here at #OTTFest19. Tell your story and be authentic -- people notice the difference between a story & a sale.

A lot of this tracks with my experience in branding. 😎
