Branding vs Marketing: What’s the Difference?

Where does branding end and marketing begin? The line can be a blurry one. And with so many people defining these terms differently, it’s no surprise some business owners are confused about what they should be spending time on. In this week’s episode, we’re untangling these terms to help you decide where to focus in 2022 and beyond.

  • Do you actually need to define your brand before you begin marketing?
  • Should new businesses begin with branding or marketing?
