I was just sent this podcast episode by a friend who I’ve had a similar conversation with before.

I really enjoyed it and think it could be interesting to discuss here.

I remember when I first learned about direct response thinking that all these big brands were stupid and were wasting their money on marketing and that they should all be doing direct response.

But recently as my business has grown and I think also with the rise of tik tok I’ve started to change my thoughts on that, I’ve started to really see the value in just being known by people.

Alex Hormozi takes this thought further in this podcast episode and says basically you can’t grow a big brand with direct response.

I’m not sure I entirely agree with that but I can see his point.

My thoughts on branding have always been, it’s a residual effect of mass direct response advertising, and of course your brand is what your customers say about you so make sure you deliver a good product.

But recently I’ve been trying to incorporate simple messages in my direct response ads so that there is a lot more of a residual branding effect if that makes sense.

I’m also planning to try and go viral and become known on tik tok, maybe use some bigger influencers even if they don’t ROI, and also paying for some news publication features.

Maybe I’m just going to waste a lot of money and stroke my ego a bit, or maybe Hormozi is right and this is how you grow a big brand.

Anyway, I’d love to hear peoples thoughts on this episode if you have time to listen.

Branding vs Direct Response (#ThrowbackThursday) | Ep 506

Oh and I just want to take a second to recognise that Hormozi looks to be releasing an episode a day. What a beast. Everyone I know who even remotely is interested in business or has a business is following him at the moment. Crazy to see.
