“I don’t necessarily think that the logo and website you launch with is going to be your forever. You will eventually outgrow it.” —Puja Malhotra
Your brand isn’t your logo—it’s the feeling people get when they think of you.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by branding, stuck chasing perfection, or unsure how to stand out, you’re not alone. The truth? The most memorable brands are built on authenticity, not just aesthetics. Forget the pressure to have it all figured out from day one.
Puja Malhotra is a seasoned branding expert and founder of Roop Creative Agency, a branding agency dedicated to helping female founders craft brands that grow with them. With nearly a decade of experience, she’s passionate about mentoring women to break stereotypes and build businesses that reflect who they truly are.
Tune in as Heather and Puja unpack what really works (and what doesn’t) in branding, from starting simple and evolving, to embracing your story, learning from mistakes, and focusing on what truly matters—so you can build a brand that’s both unforgettable and unapologetically you.
