Relaunching a brand is never easy. Doing so during the midst of a global pandemic is a mammoth task indeed.

And yet it was one that our guest, Aki Temiseva, CMO of Children Believe, had to undertake. He joins us to share the challenges of non-profit branding while the entire world is struggling, why empathy is so important to how you develop brands, and lessons that for-profit CMOs can learn from their non-profit peers.

Listen to the full episode and more here.

Key talking points

  • Why it was important to relaunch a brand during a pandemic.
  • Developing brand relaunch strategies during uncertain times.
  • The importance of empathy for both the people a non-profit supports and its supporters (and how those principles can apply to other brands).
