Ever wonder why some brands thrive for years while others disappear overnight? It’s never just about looking pretty — it’s about what’s underneath the surface. Aggie Burnett sits down with brand strategist Rachel Roberts Mattox — the strategist behind standout indie names like Captain Blankenship and Votary. They break down why pretty packaging won’t save you if your brand has no layers of meaning. Rachel shares how to craft uncopyable brand DNA, when a rebrand is worth the risk, how to build a hero product that keeps customers loyal, and how to stay culturally relevant when trends shift overnight. If you’re an indie beauty founder ready to position your brand to win, this is your blueprint.
