Do you know how to choose a branding agency?
The branding process is often a long road. Itâs not as easy as just changing out some colors and tweaking a logo. Itâs a deep dive into the inner workings of your company. Peeling back the curtain to see what it is that actually makes you tick. When itâs done the right way, branding is a lot of hard work.
That means that finding the right branding agency is important. Because youâre going to be getting close with these people for a few months. Thatâs why making sure the branding agency you choose is the right fit from the start before itâs too late.
In this episode of Practical Rebels, Veronique and Ramsey walk through how to choose the right branding agency for you from an agencyâs perspective. What to look for. Question to ask. Red flags. You name it. If a branding project is on the horizon for you and you havenât chosen an agency yet, youâll want to tune into this episode to learn more!

Everyone will remember at least three things from any wedding or event: a really bad speech, the food, and the drinks.
Tap the Coast is a mobile beverage service based in our hometown of Pensacola, Florida. Founded by Dannon Byrd, the idea was born out of the perfectly shaken mix of a well-timed Pinterest photo, a noticeable demand in the region, and a post-pandemic wedding rush. Transitioning from the nonprofit world, Dannon used her connections and fundraising knowledge to start her business in late 2019. She had no industry background. No bartending experience. What she did have was an unwavering passion for events and a drive to make the very first mobile beverage service in Northwest Florida succeed. Leveraging word of mouth marketing, Tap the Coast has quickly risen to a go-to provider of customized beverage menus and service at weddings, corporate gatherings, and fundraising events.
Dannon joined us on the Practical Rebels podcast to talk about the growing success of her business which she attributes to everything from a strong team and a really good CPA. Tune in to learn more about Dannonâs story and how the world of mobile services is taking over events.

Much of entrepreneurship, leadership, and life is learning, listening, and gaining experiences that guide your path. This weekâs guest is a perfect example of someone whoâs done just that. We were lucky enough to get an exclusive hour with our (very busy) hometown Mayor, @dcreevesmayor.
Our discussion ranged from his beginnings as a sports writer and his professional mentorship through @qdstuder to the lessons learned opening a brewery and his eventual appointment to City of Pensacolaâs 64th Mayor. The Mayor attributes Pensacolaâs recent and exciting growth to its invigorating entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to philanthropy mixed with a really good problem to have: people just want to come to Pensacola. As Pensacolaâs youngest Mayor in over 100 years, Reeves is driven daily by the excitement of helping local businesses thrive, working to make Pensacola a better place to live for everyone who calls it home and sharing whatâs so special about it with the rest of the world.
This is a very special episode that you wonât want to miss! Weâre so excited about the growth and future of Pensacola and canât thank the Mayor enough for taking the time to join us on Practical Rebels.

They say never work with your friends, but we donât agree with that. Over the years, HatchMark Studio has developed a reputation of being a team that isâŠa little close. Maybe too close at times. But what weâve found is that working closely with friends can have a profound impact on workplace happiness and success.
Whether itâs bringing someone on the team you already trust or prioritizing an abundance of transparency throughout every layer of the business, working with friends or allowing yourself to get closer to your coworkers can ensure youâre always on a shared pathway to success. It can even enable you to take risks you wouldn't have otherwise taken knowing your bestie is there to back you up.
This latest episode of Practical Rebels takes a closer look at benefits of nurturing close relationships with coworkers and the potential drawbacks to look out for before they become a problem. We were in our feelings for this one, so youâll want to tune in so we can share everything weâve learned during our journey. Now streaming on all of your favorite platforms!

Do you need to be advertising on social media? đ€
The answer is âyes.â But we know itâs not that simple for every business. You need to know how much you should expect to spend, what content needs to be created, and how to know whether or not itâs working.
For better or worse, social media platforms like Meta have switched their business model to encourage content creators to pay for their service. The good news is that you wonât have to spend nearly as much as you may think. However, the days of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best through a purely organic strategy might be slowly but surely coming to an end.
In this latest episode of the Practical Rebels podcast, Veronique and Ramsey dive into the world of social media advertising. They discuss how much you should spend, which content is performing the best, and how to optimize your marketing strategy to reach beyond social media.

âThe human game is a team sport.â
Thatâs what Destyn Patera, owner of @lenseafilm, says. We spoke with him about building a film agency from the ground up, how putting people before profits shaped their growth, pushing the boundaries with a team, finding the perfect fit for a client, and a whole lot more. Destynâs people-first philosophy of business and quest to surround himself with friends who challenge him daily has led to success for his agency on both a local and national stage. More recently, the Lensea Film team found themselves in a production support role on the all-new @usnavyblueangels IMAX feature film with J.J. Abrams and Glen Powell, an honor that Destyn attributes to prioritizing human connections in a technical industry.
Weâve been lucky to call the team at Lensea Film partners and friends for years now, so this episode is near and dear to our hearts as our shared passion for excellence and camaraderie permeates every project on which we collaborate. Tune into this special 18th episode of Practical Rebels for an insightful journey into taking risks and daring to do what you love for a living.

In a highly competitive landscape where attention is currency, it's more important than ever to stand out in a sea of white noise. Brands like Liquid Death, Pit Viper, and even Wendy's have made names for themselves with wit, edge, and by being LOUD, but how do you make a mark when your culture and industry isn't built to push the envelope to such an extreme?
This week, we sit down with our Associate Creative Director Liz Long to discuss how brands can embrace the concept of "Practical Rebels" - pushing the boundaries, within reason. Check out our conversation to learn how every brand can embrace their true selves, lead in their industry, and take notes from unexpected places to stand apart from the competition and build their own unique voice. -

It's said that necessity is the mother of invention, and we've seen no greater example of that than what Bryant (B.B.) Liggett has built with The Fertility Resort.
With 15 years in the marketing world, B.B.'s experience spans food and beverage, beauty, healthcare, and media production. She has built a career and name through her expertise in social media strategy, brand management, digital marketing, and small business coaching.
In 2020, at the height of collective uncertainty and a worldwide pandemic, B.B. experienced her second pregnancy loss and was thrown into a world that a shocking one in four women experience...infertility.

In this week's episode, we talk through the process of building a business to support those going through some of their most painful, challenging, and unpredictable journeys. Don't miss this one.
