How did Preston Rutherford take Chubbies from $0 to a 10-figure IPO? By believing in the power of great brand-building, of course.
Preston joins Daniel to discuss the importance of brand building and breaks down why it’s the #1 factor in distinguishing your brand from the rest of the pack. Preston also unpacks how metrics and feedback loops can help measure the success of brand-building efforts and shares insights on how Chubbies consistently creates shareable content.
And later, Preston shares the story of how Chubbies started as a nights and weekends project and grew into a household brand, before revealing the one marketing hill he would die on.
