Ariadna Navarro Is Guest Speaker on JUST Branding Podcast
Ari discusses the difference between a “bland” and a brand, and how to create strong brands that last.
VSA’s Chief Growth Officer Ariadna Navarro was recently a guest on the JUST Branding podcast, co-hosted by Jacob Cass and Matt Davies.
In this episode, Ari tackles the rise of “blands”—a category of brands that while claiming to offer a completely unique product, adopt an almost uniform visual identity and voice.
Check out the episode here or below to hear more about what a bland is, why blands became so popular, and how companies that once embraced the blands can create a stronger, longer-lasting brand legacy.
Ariadna Navarro appears on the JUST Branding podcast to discuss blands vs. brands with co-hosts Jacob Cass and Matt Davies.
