Wooxy Marketing Podcast Episode #3 : Direct vs Brand Marketing: Stand Out in a Crowded Market

In today’s competitive business landscape, marketing isn’t just about visibility — it’s about making an impact. In our latest podcast, Susanna Hayrapetyan, CMO at Wooxy and founder of IQMinute, unpacks the nuances of direct marketing versus brand marketing, helping businesses of all sizes strategize smarter.

Every business faces the same question: How can we drive results while building lasting relationships? This episode dives into the core of that dilemma, offering practical insights for marketers, startups, and entrepreneurs.

  • 4:20 Please provide an example to illustrate the difference between a logo and a brand.
