Manage episode 398659579 series 2930768
70% of our decision-making is made unconsciously with our emotions, and when you lean into that power, you can create brands that truly resonate with consumers. For Jim Pietruszynski, CEO of Soulsight, that passion for weaving empathy and design together started when he was just a kid and continues to be the driving force behind his practices today. In this episode, we talk with Jim about the emotional core of branding and the importance of crafting designs that truly embody a brand's story and purpose.
