Stop Copying Apple: Build a Brand That Looks Like You

Everybody wants an “Apple look.”
But here’s the truth nobody tells you — copy-paste branding kills your brand before it even begins.

Your logo, your colors, your tone of voice…
they’re not supposed to look minimal —
they’re supposed to look like YOU.

Brands fail not because their design is bad,
but because their identity is borrowed.

If your communication feels generic,
if your visuals look like every other startup,
if your messaging sounds straight out of a Pinterest board…
then your brand is not scaling — it’s blending.

Real brand growth comes from clarity, not imitation.
Clarity of purpose.
Clarity of audience.
Clarity of identity.

Create your own codes.
Your own culture.
Your own language.
That’s how unforgettable brands are born.
