What is the real financial impact of branding? In this episode of Cover Brand, Ethan Decker welcomes Rocky Longworth of Equilibrium Advantage to unpack the misunderstood role of brand in business growth. Too often, business owners focus on easy-to-measure metrics like daily sales, missing the long-term value that true brand-building delivers.
You’ll learn how to reframe the conversation with stakeholders (and even the CFO!) to recognize brand as a major asset, not just marketing fluff. Full of practical anecdotes—like why someone chooses Charmin over Cottonelle, or how the Aflac duck transformed insurance marketing—this episode is a must-listen for marketers, small business owners, and anyone looking to bridge the gap between brand strategy and bottom-line results. Get actionable strategies to track your brand’s impact and unlock compounding growth.
Tune in to discover: how to prove your brand’s financial value, build stronger connections with customers, and balance short-term wins with sustainable success.
