Brand Photography for Products and You with Jade Warne

Great images of your products and of you can make selling what you do a whole lot easier. Even if you’re on a budget, the investment of great photography can help elevate your business and make you look far more together than you probably feel!But it’s often one of the biggest areas of lack for most of the business owners I work with. So few invest money into getting a range of photos they can use for social media, the website, print and anywhere else you can place them. In episode 24 of MAP IT Marketing, we talk to “Hipster Mum” owner Jade Warne. Jade specialises in helping business owners create stunning photography and videos of both themselves and their products, along with handing over a fair amount of advice and support around digital marketing. Jade’s snapped Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Marie Forleo, Elizabeth Gilbert, Elle Macpherson - but her favourite clients are small business women who are building their dream. After starting her career with Marie Claire and the Sydney Morning Herald, she worked for start-up “Shoes of Prey” (which I vastly regret not asking her about in this episode because I loved that business!)Jade has an energised and engaged community on Instagram under the name @hipstermumsocial where she mixes the realities of the business and parenting juggleWe talk about the importance of carving out a persona for yourself as a business owner that can be separate from the banalities and stress of parenting, and how this can make you feel more confident and in control of your marketing and brand. As Jade says ”Who do you need to be in a business sense? Who you know, what is that person? How do they show up? What do they wear? What colours are important to them?  And let's bring that construction to life for you so that you can communicate really succinctly swiftly with your ideal client to make those connections in a split second”This episode is for anyone needing to understand how  to find their own brand persona, what you need to have at home for your own product photography, why using an expert can be a worthwhile investment, whether you should use your children’s images as part of your marketing, and exactly how the balance between being in business and being a parent can sometimes feel completely impossible  Today we coverWhy it’s ok to have a brand personaWhat happens to you when you own that personaWhat you need to create your own product photos at homeWhy getting a brand photographer can save you time and moneyThe juggle of owning a business and being a parentWhy sometimes we need to follow the different seasons of our livesWhether you should use your children as marketing material Important Linkshttps://www.hipstermum.com/https://www.instagram.com/hipstermumsocialIdentify's ECommerce Webinar October 7th Other recommended EpisodesHow to build a personal brandWhat you must do to improve your ECommerce sales IMPORTANT LINKS MENTIONED DURING MAP IT MARKETING EPISODESMAP IT Marketing Facebook groupIdentify’s Events and WebinarsIdentify Marketing InstagramIdentify Marketing Facebook PageRachel Klaver WebsiteIdentify Marketing NZ WebsiteIdentify Marketing Australian WebsiteRachel Klaver - LinkedinRachel Klaver - YoutubeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
