Here's a $50 million branding lesson that every business owner, marketer, and designer should know! 🍊

In early 2009, Tropicana spent $35 million trying to modernize its packaging and lost $30 million in sales within two months. By February, they'd already reversed the whole thing and gone back to the original design, but the total damage ended up being over $50 million dollars, and left them with a brand crisis that became one of the most studied cautionary tales in marketing history. πŸ“– πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»

So what actually went wrong? πŸ€”

The problem wasn't that people disliked the new look, per se. It was that loyal customers could no longer find the product on shelves! The iconic orange with the straw was gone, the logo was unrecognizable, and the new design felt so stripped back that people actually thought it was a generic store brand.

Tropicana changed everything at once, and in doing so, erased every visual cue their customers had been using for years to identify and trust the product.

The big takeaway here for every brand, big or small, is that branding carries a certain type of emotional weight that doesn't always show up in research, and that consumer loyalty can be just as fragile as it is powerful! πŸ’‘

Hello! πŸ‘‹ Hi. Sorry to interrupt your doomscroll, but WE NEED TO TALK. πŸ›‘

We know you were just trying to watch one more video of a pig learning to use talking buttons (shoutout to Merlin The Pig) , but we need to address the elephant in the room. Or rather, the elephant in your draft folder. 🐘

You know what's in that draft folder? Potential. Unrealized, dusty, beautiful potential. πŸ₯Ή Despite thinking you still need better lighting or to find the best trending audio before you can post those Reels, the truth is that we all just need to accept that "done" is infinitely more powerful than "almost perfectly edited, but sitting in a folder getting zero views".

"But random person on the internet," you say, "what if it flops?" To which we say: Flops are IN. It shows you're a real human, and it's the one thing AI can't do better than you.

And we're sorry, but did you REALLY go through all the effort of typing that caption just to let it moulder in the cloud? 😧

Best case: It goes viral, you become famous, and we take 10% credit. πŸ˜‰

Post πŸ‘ the πŸ‘ drafts πŸ‘

Waiting for inspiration to strike is a terrible content strategy. Trust us, we've checked the data.

The algorithm honestly doesn't care if you're feeling inspired; it just wants to see you show up! πŸ“† But the secret to showing up consistently has very little to do with motivation and almost everything to do with organization.

Annoying, we know. But also kind of freeing?

Swipe for the realistic, human-friendly guide to showing up online consistently, even when you'd rather be doing literally anything else. 😴

And of course, if reading this carousel just reminded you that you really would rather do literally anything else, we can always handle the whole thing for you. 😏 Just head to the link in our bio to get started! πŸ“²

Somewhere over the rainbow… there's a brand we built! 🌈

Colour is one of the most underestimated tools in your brand toolkit. It influences how people feel, what they remember, and whether they trust you within seconds of seeing your logo.

Your marketing is working... Probably. Maybe. We think? πŸ‘€ If you can't answer that with confidence, you need UTM tracking in your life!

Instead of staring at Google Analytics wondering where all those visitors came from, UTMs tag every link so you know exactly: this click came from THIS post, THIS campaign, THIS platform.

Swipe to learn how it works, and then let's talk about putting it to work for your brand! πŸ“²

Dropping some history on your St. Paddy’s Day feed because we simply cannot help ourselves! πŸ€“

Did you know that St. Patrick’s original colour was, in fact, blue? Like, a specific shade that’s actually called β€œSt. Patrick’s Blue”?

The earliest depictions of the saint show him in blue robes, and in 1783, King George III made it the official colour of the Order of St. Patrick. It was also on Ireland’s coat of arms, courtesy of King Henry VIII who declared himself King of Ireland in 1542 and assigned the country a golden harp on a blue background.

But because blue was so deeply tied to British colonialism, by 1798, Irish nationalists decided that they had had enough of centuries of British colonization, and rejected the colour entirely. When the United Irishmen launched their rebellion in 1798 (inspired by the American and French Revolution) they chose GREEN to represent their movement. βœ…

Unfortunately, the rebellion was crushed, and Ireland was absorbed into the United Kingdom in 1801. But despite all of this, green still remained!

Irish Catholic immigrants brought it to America during the Great Famine of the 1840s, where it became a badge of pride in the face of discrimination.

And today, millions of people wear green every year on March 17th.

All because of a colour that started as a revolution. πŸ₯ΉβœŠπŸ’š

Happy St. Paddy's Day from Hamilton's most detail-oriented marketing team! πŸ˜‰ πŸ€
