Liverpool #photo 🗑 *swipe* I was invited down to @liverpoolfc by @vistaprint to be the keynote speaker at the #VistaCollective meet up to share the lessons I have learned over the years, brand building and growing @treasuretress Between some laughs and games, I summarised my thoughts in these six points - lessons I’ve learned (and am still learning over the years). 💡NO IDEA IS NEW, NOTHING IS ORIGINAL, BUT YOU Execution is always more important than the idea. Tell your story from your perspective, using your experience. 🤗COMMUNITY CANNOT BE COPIED. Bigg-ER brands can and WILL copy your ideas/concepts. Thankfully some things are impossible to copy - Community being one of them. 🫶🏾COLLABORATION BREEDS CREATIVITY One of the things I most appreciate about the fashion industry! Pairing together two seemingly unrelated products, services or experiences to birth something new. 💰 ALWAYS DO TOO MUCH! CREATIVITY > BUDGET What you don’t have in budget - make up for in creativity. Think of the idea, then figure out the budget - not the other way around. Why limit yourself? 🇯🇲 - BRAND EVERYTHING, BECAUSE BRAND IS EVERYTHING!!! Ever been in a Jamaican dad/uncles car without seeing a flag? It’s THAT arrogance all brands and marketeers need 🤪 ✍️ - DOCUMENT YOUR JOURNEY - WRITE THE BLUEPRINT Someone is counting on you to do what you were put here to do, so they can see that they too can do it. You honestly never know who’s watching, only you know what your contribution to the world will be. Talk your sh*t! Younger “shy” Jamelia would be so proud of this version of me. On Wednesday I made up for lost time, felt completely in my element and was deeply grateful for the work being done through me. Swipe for some 🥹 messages
