Building a Brand Bible
These are the slides from my most popular presentation on what it takes to build a company that people care about and talk about. The ultimate purpose of a brand bible is to create clarity internally, but many find equal value in having a clear, concise, and compelling pitch that they can communicate externally. This document alone is probably not sufficient to help you create a brand bible, but it should certainly provide you with some valuable questions and get you started down the right road. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact me@elijahmay.com or 512-522-0225. PLEASE NOTE that the BrandGarde Agency is lo longer an operating entity. That is because, over time, I developed more and more of an interest in the "process" piece of the equation. In 2014, I formally founded and launched The Experience Firm with two amazing partners.
