episode 22: "Marmite's Branding Playbook For Food Startups" — Keva Epale, Brand And Storytelling Strategist
Marmite is a British savoury spread and strategist Keva Epale's favourite brand. Love it or hate it, you can't ignore it. A brand built on conflict and division? Surely that can't work. But, as Keva explains, Marmite's use of friction is precisely why it is so successful, especially in a world where everyone seems to be playing it safe. She shares why this strategy (if done right) should be adopted by more companies aiming to make an unforgettable impact.
