Every business challenging the status quo pays hidden costs that traditional businesses don't face - but this "tax" is actually an investment in market leadership. In this episode, Tara shares her journey from seeing inequities at her old agency to building YO&O as a wellness-focused brand studio, revealing how paying the price for being different created her unique competitive advantage.

This episode is perfect for any neurodivergent entrepreneurs, wellness brands, and any business trying to do things differently (even if it feels expensive).

In this episode, the discussion is on the relationship between colour psychology and branding. I'm emphasising that colour is not simply an aesthetic choice but a strategic tool that can influence consumer perception and behaviour. We dive right into the cultural and contextual nuances of colour, and highlight the importance of understanding audience psychology and memory encoding in effective brand design.

In this episode I'm cracking open the concept of the 'Memory Matrix,' touching on how customers process and remember branded information. I discuss the importance of visual identity, emotional connections, and cultural memory in branding. This taps into the need for brands to focus on recognition over recall and how neurodiversity can influence design thinking. The conversation (as always) touches on the evolving landscape of brand design in the age of AI, highlighting the significance of understanding memory formation in creating brands that people care about.
