How to Create a Memorable Brand with Allie LeFevere, Episode 143

Passive multifamily investing

There are three primary emotions that release adrenaline into our brains that create lasting memories: fear, grief, and humor. While many brands focus on fear (can you say FOMO), Allie and her partner launched the Obedient Agency to help people use humor and levity to create memorable brands.

Allie has spent the last decade creating, launching, and scaling fun-centric global programs for brands + entrepreneurs, whipping up their humorous branding + marketing campaigns, and making sure every touchpoint of their customer’s experience is unforgettable, unconventional, and most importantly, un-boring.
