Nikki Takahashi knows what goes into creating a great brand!
Nikki is the founder and CEO of Fetching Finn, a multi-6-figure branding and design agency that gets clients noticed in person, online, and in print.

If you want to connect with your customers, you need to go beyond the graphics.
“A logo and a website is kind of where people start when they’re thinking about branding. But when it comes down to it, branding is so much broader than that,” Nikki explains. “Building a brand with traction, one that gets sales and gets noticed and gets remembered, starts with messaging and not with the design piece. So, that’s been a shift in my business.”
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The #1 change that Nikki made to her business which wound up being absolutely pivotal
- A walkthrough of what to expect when you seek out branding services
- Whether you should have a personal brand alongside your business brand
