Lessons in branding you can learn from travelling

Welcome, Bienvenido, Salut, Privet, Yōkoso, Willkommen!​​​​​​​​

​​​Having recently done my first international trip in 4 years, I'd forgotten a lot of the little things that come with travelling, and more specifically… flying! The quirks, the stresses, the processes, the excitement, and the clever hacks of going through airport checks smoothly.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​So to summarise the 6 things from travelling that can apply to branding:

  4. People will pay extra for convenience

  5. Invest in good equipment and help

  6. It’s a lot easier to be found when you stand out
