MARIA ROSS
Praise for
branding basics
"As someone who has
worked with thousands of
small businesses, I have
seen a lack of a clear,
focused brand strategy
cause people to waste
time, energy, money and
flounder in the
marketplace. Never
fear, Maria breaks down
branding so that anyone
with a business, or who
is thinking of launching
a business, can
understand why an
investment in branding
is make or break for
creating a thriving
business. Don't
launch without it!"
---Beth Schoenfeldt,
Co-Founder, Collective-E
"Such a wide and clear
scope on what makes
successful brands
so...successful.
Great coverage.
And great inspiration to
be true to your values
and think big."
---Danielle LaPorte,
creator of
WhiteHotTruth.com, lead
author of Style
