Episode 72: Your Brand – What People Perceive is What They Believe with Dan Mulhern

Looking to create your brand, then Dan Mulhern is the one to talk to.  Dan has helped us create our brand guide which determines what we look like from the colors we on our social media to the fonts we write with. But listen to how branding is so much more as Dan and I get into our conversation.

About Dan Mulhern

“I’ve been creating visual art as long as I can remember. In elementary school, my teachers used to think that my parents created my art for me. As a child I always wanted to be a pilot and an architect.  Ending up as a commercial designer and brand expert doesn’t come as a surprise I suppose.  It allows me to explore new horizons and do it in such a way that I have to adhere to minute details in order to create a successful outcome. The best part, however, is experiencing my clients’ satisfaction when we’ve created something special that will resonate powerfully in the marketplace. That is what keeps me doing what I do, doing what I love.”
