Brand and Butter
You Don't Have a Marketing Problem.
Mar 26, 2026
Episode 98
Tara Ladd
Most businesses think they have a marketing problem. They don't. They have a brand problem, and the reason nobody's fixed it is because nobody's explained what brand actually is. In this episode, I map the shift that's been happening in the market, break down what brand is actually made of (hint: it's not the logo), and explain why the layer most founders are working at isn't the layer the problem lives on.
If this landed for you – I've put it all into a free guide called The Market Shift. It breaks down the 3 layers properly, shows you which one your problem lives in, and gives you a real diagnosis. Not a framework to file away. An answer.
