    Raw and Hands-On interviews
    I highly recommend this podcast to people who are actually working in design industry, this is not just a show, it is shared experiences of professionals. At first the topics may look scattered, but then you realize they are actually different aspects and parts of the design industry that one should deal with, specially if you are a freelancer. I wish Matt was talking a little less and gave more time to Jacob and the guests though, perhaps that’s just me ;) Useful, enjoyable and pack-full.

    Great for beginners or seasoned vets
    Jacob and Matt do a terrific job of de-mystifying branding, and making its key concepts and principles accessible to all. Whether a branding newbie or a seasoned vet, you’ll have a better grasp of branding after listening to Matt, Jacob and their guests.

    Very educational!
    I am in the graphic design and branding business so I have been listening to many podcast on branding to increase my knowledge, and I have explored a few but except “Just branding“ they all have one big problem, they have a content consistency issue, one week it may be about branding but the next it is about another thing which is not related to branding for me that is not inviting and waste of my time. Why I love Just Branding is exactly why they focus on just a branding and anything branding related. The guests they bring have tons of experience on the subject they are talking about and they ask questions that are very helpful and important. And the fact that they are two bringing two different perspectives on the table is even more helpful. I highly recommend to anyone who is on the design industry to hear this amazing podcast. Thanks Jacob and Matt. Keep up the good work!

    Branding is a Sensory Experience
    Love episode #9 where Gabriel Ignacio Agüero talks about his process of creating an audio brand, especially in the context of the “Just Branding” podcast. I always to podcast before going to bed and yours never fail to inspire. I am a designer turned strategist and have been crafting this brand direction since COVID-19. Will continue to look forward to uncovering many golden nuggets from you guys and your guests. - Vincent Lee

    Inspring, fresh and honest approach to design.
    I’ve been a fan of Jacob’s work for sometime now, and the content he provides on his website and on his social media platforms. When he announced he was working on a podcast, I was excited as a designer, hoping to get some fresh perspectives and inspiration from such an established professional. Keep up the great work Jacob.

    Personal stories are great!
    Their personal stories from their experiences are super helpful. You can tell they know what they’re talking about.
  • AlvaPhoenix
    Let’s talk about what matters!
    Love the fact that they actually talk about what Marketing is and is not. So much fluff out there nowadays it’s refreshing to see and hear people talk about the real stuff.
