Matt Brownell: It's not a branding job when it's part of your DNA

In Episode #28 of One More Question, Ross is joined by Matt Brownell, Head of Brand & Communications at Yoco. Matt has been an executive at SABMiller, leading Strategy & Innovation for the iconic Castle Lager brand and heading up the Trade Marketing department for the Egoli region of SABMiller. In his role at Yoco, Matt is responsible for telling the inspirational stories of the small business heroes who Yoco are lucky enough to call their customers. Ross and Matt chat about long-term brand building and splitting Yoco’s marketing team in two, Yoco’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and why it’s better to build a brand on a limited budget.

One More Question is a podcast lovingly created by the people of Nicework, a branding studio based in South Africa that serves a range of clients across the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The world doesn't need more lazy, boring, half-arsed, poorly-built brands. In this podcast, we explore what it takes to build a great one. We interview founders who have built multi-billion dollar brands and experts who know how to get people to connect with their products, services, and companies. If you’re looking for insight into the best ways to invest in and build your brand, this may well be the podcast for you. Our past guests include Bruce Mau, Chris Do, Aaron Draplin, Marina Willer, Michael Bierut and Fredrick Öst.
