We were not just building a product, we were building a movement.
Branding
- To build a successful brand, identify the challenges your customers face and tailor your messaging to address those challenges. Avoid comparing your brand to others in a negative light. Use Assembly AI to build AI-powered features into your products.
- Using branding and storytelling in the workplace can make mundane tasks more motivating for employees. Patience is also necessary when operating in a disruptive industry, as seen in Bobbie’s relabeling experience.
We have this motto at Bobbie: momentum above all else.
Building a strong company
- Sometimes, taking a step back and slowing growth can benefit a company’s long-term success. Building momentum and leading through tough times are important skills for product leaders and growth teams.
- To create a thriving marketplace, prioritize the needs and experiences of hosts over technology and growth alone. A positive workplace culture should also be emphasized in all aspects of operations.
- Build a strong company culture by inspiring your team with a compelling vision and connecting with them personally. Use storytelling to make even the smallest features exciting, and take big risks to make major leaps forward.
