Branding Love Letters

14-10-2023 • 27 mins

IKEA is a Swedish furniture retailer and strategist Anneli Hansson's favourite brand. Narnia, Hogwarts, IKEA... For Anneli, they're all offering the same thing. Because when you step through the doors of that big blue warehouse, you get to experience almost endless possibilities. And 'experience' really is the key word. This episode is a (very Swedish) journey into the wonderful everyday.

What is this podcast?

Case studies in brand loyalty, equipping you to better connect with your audience. In each episode, a top guest picks their favourite brand. I then invite them to unpack why it means so much. As they share, we gain invaluable insights into what makes audiences tick. Not with strategy or theory, but through that undeniable proof of successful branding: emotion.
