Create Your Brand & Lead
For small business owners, there are very few helpful books on branding. You often have to settle for reading about large corporate brands with enormous budgets and somehow imagine how those strategies might work for you. This is not one of those books.
This is a step-by-step guide and workbook to brand-building with straightforward explanations and guidance designed specifically for the small business owner.

Our firm needed a “new look” and DAISHO’s re-branding process did not disappoint! They walked us through step-by-step and helped us realize who we REALLY are and where we should focus our energies as a firm. We are thrilled with DAISHO’s professionalism and creativity and highly recommend them.
