Humanising your brand and business (2021 update)
I originally published this article a while ago so I thought I would revamp it and give it a good update as now more than ever it’s so important to bring out the human side of your brand and business.
To give some context, many many moons ago, when I first started out, I made the impression my business was more than a one-woman band.

Although this route can work for some businesses and brands, it wasn’t for me, and I’m sure it may not be for everyone.
So today I wanted to share some tips on how to humanise your brand and how to make your business feel more personal and how to build a connection with your clients or customers.
