Hi, I’m Ed Howie, and I Help Entrepreneurs Grow Their Brands!
Whether you’re building a new brand that needs a little boost to get off the ground or you’re leading an established brand that needs new life, I guide motivated people to discover and unleash their unique attributes so they can lead their businesses in a way that helps them stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Over the past 30 years, I have had the pleasure of teaming up with amazing brands like Chick-fil-A®, 7-Eleven, KFC, H-E-B Grocery, Kroger, and Massage Heights to help them find their uniqueness.
Regardless of the size of the company or the number of people I am working with, I am passionate about motivating and energizing entrepreneurs, marketers, brand leaders, and creatives to find inspiration and joy in what they do. In fact, I’m on a mission to “Inspire More Joy” and our goal is to Inspire 1 million joys!
I believe everyone has a calling—that “thing” we have been put on this earth to do or be. My calling is to encourage people to find theirs.
Finding your calling can be challenging. Sometimes, entrepreneurs succumb to the external pressures placed on them to be, do, or say things based on another’s perception.
Before too long, they are working to fulfill someone else’s beliefs and expectations. Being who you are called to be—blazing your individual trail—is not easy.
As a brand strategist, marketer, and serial entrepreneur, I empathize with you. I have faced some of the same challenges. I want to help you succeed. I want to help you gain an understanding of who you are and what your brand stands for.
With the power of understanding, I can help you develop your story to showcase your unique attributes so you can stand out in the world.
Some of the things I can help you with are:
• Business Branding
• Understanding the difference between marketing and branding
• Food Service
• Food Retail
• Retail Trends
• Private Label Trends
• Product Launches
• Franchise Growth
Branding is something everyone talks about, but many don’t understand. Some believe a brand is a logo, while others may think branding is an advertising campaign. It’s about time to set the record straight and help everyone get on the same page. That’s where I come in.
You want to create WOOO not POOO. By WOOO, I mean that you are Winning Others Over and Over® (WOOO®). You are creating a loyalty to your brand, your business, right from the start. Whereas POOO means that things were Poorly Orchestrated, Operationalized, and Optimized (POOO). Think about it, whether your customer is walking through your door for the first time or they’re clicking on your website the first time, the first judgment they make about you will be either WOOO or POOO.
Join me as I share The Wonder of WOOO and how harnessing it relates to your business, inspiring conversations, and tips on a semi-regular basis on my YouTube show, “Howie Grow a Brand”.
The revelations provided in conversations I have with thought leaders who focus on marketing and entrepreneurship will not only inform, they may even inspire a little joy.
I love to keep things light, yet informative. And maybe there’ll be a lot of food talk in there as well!
Look, you and your businesses are unique; however, if you don’t have a full understanding of how to leverage your uniqueness you run the risk of becoming a commodity. I want to help you to keep that from happening.
Let me help you stand out in the market. Discover the Wonder of WOOO and let’s Inspire More Joy together!
