Why “New Year, New Me” Doesn’t Work for Your Brand (And What to Do Instead).
It’s early January, and everywhere you look, it’s all about “New Year, New Me.”
New goals. New strategies. New content. New photos.
If you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner, it’s tempting to start the year with a quick brand refresh or updating your brand visuals. But the real power comes from approaching your visuals strategically, let’s look at how.
Why “New Year, New Me” Fails for Your Brand.
Feeling inspired to refresh your brand, new photos, new content, new visuals, can be a smart move. But jumping in without a clear plan can quickly backfire.
Updating your brand visuals randomly or copying what others are doing can lead to:
Inconsistent visuals that confuse your audience
Wasted time and energy on personal branding photos or content that don’t align with your goals
Missed opportunities and reduced ROI on your brand investment
