The clients become more sophisticated.Yet the brand that represents the business often remains tied to an earlier stage of the company.In this episode of Closing the Brand Gap, Elizabeth Gunter explores one of the most common moments founders encounter: realizing their business has grown beyond the brand that represents it.Using the metaphor of a neighborhood restaurant that becomes a destination, Elizabeth explains why brands need to evolve alongside the businesses they represent.When the outside no longer reflects the quality inside, the Brand Gap appears.This episode explores why that happens—and what it means to bring your brand forward so it reflects what your business has truly become.
