at the heart of every great brand is a human connection
founder-led vs personal brands
HUMAN CENTRED BRAND BUILDING IS THE FUTURE
People connect with people. Studies show that 90% of consumers are more likely to trust and purchase from a brand with an authentic, relatable face behind it. Among Gen Z and younger generations, this connection is even stronger—transparency, authenticity, and purpose-driven leadership are non-negotiable for building trust and loyalty. Brands with a visible, human element consistently outperform competitors, driving higher engagement, stronger relationships, and long-term loyalty.
By focusing on founder-led and personal brands, we embrace these human-centred elements, helping you build a brand that not only stands out but deeply resonates with your audience.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOUNDER-LED AND PERSONAL BRANDS
While the strategy for founder-led and personal brands shares many similarities, there are key nuances:
These are businesses where the founder’s vision, values, and personality shape the brand. The founder often acts as the face of the company, leading with authenticity and purpose.
FOUNDER-LED BRANDS
These focus more on the individual and their unique strengths, story, and expertise. Personal brands are often built around services, thought leadership, or content creation.
PERSONAL BRANDS
