Empowered Startups reveals the power of branding through an innovative, impactful webinar
Support is more than just a letter at Empowered Startups, which recently demonstrated to its founders that branding is more than just a marketing tool for their startups. Empowered, a global leader in startup incubation, conducted a dynamic and highly impactful webinar entitled “How to Use Brand as a Growth Tool,” setting the stage for entrepreneurs to revolutionize their approach to business growth.
This cutting-edge session armed participants, all founders from Empowered’s Canada Start-up Visa Program, with actionable strategies for harnessing the full potential of branding, not just as a promotional vehicle but as a catalyst for business development, recruiting, fundraising, and product innovation. Through an engaging blend of inspiring case studies and practical advice, the webinar illustrated how startups have successfully utilized branding to create a competitive edge and drive exponential growth.

The webinar also broke new ground by exploring the transformative role of AI in branding. Attendees were given a firsthand look at how AI tools can streamline the brand creation process, making it more efficient and accessible. The session delved into various AI applications, such as automated design tools, AI-driven market analysis, and personalized marketing campaigns, enabling startups to launch impactful brands swiftly and economically, bypassing the need for costly traditional methods.
The webinar was led by Melody Yung, founder of Yung Studio and a renowned branding expert. She provided invaluable insights into the nuances of first-time brand-building, including assembling the right team and developing cost-effective branding strategies.
“We believe that a strong brand is the cornerstone of startup success,” said Zoya Brar, Startup Leader at Empowered Startups. “This webinar offered entrepreneurs the practical tools they need to build a brand that not only stands out but also drives sustainable business growth.”
