SEMINAR: Branding From Scratch: The PR & Marketing Formula Behind Unstoppable Success
Summary: In this seminar, the Rodrigo brothers reveal the real-world blueprint behind building a successful brand from scratch using the power of PR, marketing, and influence. They break down how to identify the right communication lines for your business, craft marketing campaigns that work even with minimal resources, and develop content that builds trust, authority, and demand. They explain how to design a marketing funnel that functions both digitally and in person, how to generate strong desire for your products, and how to create a purpose-driven culture where teams understand and support the mission through PR technology.
They also introduce the MAYA design principle — “Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable” — and show how this approach helps brands innovate in ways that feel fresh while remaining familiar enough for customers to adopt with confidence.
This seminar gives entrepreneurs a clear, actionable roadmap for building brands that break through the noise and become impossible to ignore.
