Laura Pearman - Living and Breathing Brands: Making Personal Brands Come Alive by Offering Creative Direction as an Experience

Joining me on this episode is someone who embodies this brand authenticity and literally walks the talk. Laura Pearman is the owner of Laura Pearman Creatives which offers brand strategy, creative direction, and brand photography.

We discuss:
● How she lives as a vintage pin-up
● Adapting her services to respond to the demands of the creative economy and the pandemic situation
● How she approaches her photography service as a total branding experience
● The Fear Factor of education and why it comes naturally for her to loop her clients in on how and why she works the way she does
● The origins of MwahTV and how it helps people create content they want to, not just content they think they should be producing
● Why she humanizes her brand by inserting rough footage and blooper reels in her videos
● The different themes of her personal brand (cocktails, music, Suki the cat, traveling, and feminism)
● How she maintains her authenticity while keeping some content topics off-limits
● Her YouTube growth and content marketing best practices
● A loophole she found in YouTube forecasting
● Sonic Branding and examples of brands who are doing it really well
● Struggles she faced as a creative and the importance of speaking up about anxiety and depression as a creative entrepreneur
● Her advice on being realistic with your time and being open to adapt and modify what you’re doing
● Her mantra on being happy to fail
