Is your business missing out on opportunities, and you don’t know why? Or has your business grown to a level where you’ve lost touch with why you started in the first place? If you said yes to any of those questions, your business is out of alignment. And that impacts everything, including employee and customer retention and finding partnerships.
The secret to changing that and unlocking your brand’s sustainable growth is aligning your brand strategy with your business strategy (and no, they’re not the same). Knowing what your business stands for is one thing, but knowing the difference you make in the world is another, and marrying those two is where many businesses struggle. Want to learn more?
Listen to this Inspired Insider Podcast episode with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring the Founder and Chief Right Engine of TwinEngine, Winnie Hart. They discuss what goes into creating a brand strategy, identifying and sticking to your target audience, why it matters, and more.

So TwinEngine. Tell me what you do a TwinEngine and where the name comes from
Winnie Hart 3:03
TwinEngine? Well, you know, I have a little brother Tommy by the way, there’s more than just winning and Lorrie. And my brother, Tommy. I mean, imagine being the brother of two identical twins create pretty crazy childhood, my dad decided that he wanted to have relationship with Tommy. So to have a better relationship with Tommy, my dad decided, well, you know, I’m gonna I’m gonna build remote control airplanes. And we’re gonna fly these things. And so they did that. So I remember such a such a years and years of my childhood, we would I would watch my dad and my brother Tommy build these remote control airplanes. And we’d go out into this, this field every week, every week. And we would watch Lorrie, I would sit there, my identical twin sister Laurie would sit there and watch them, you know, build these planes fly these planes cross these planes. And it was really, really a fantastic thing to learn about. I learned a lot about flying very, very early on. And then my dad was younger, I remember I can remember it very distinctly my dad was was talking to us who said you know what, I kind of want to learn how to fly a big plane. And, and so he learned how to fly. I mean, I remember there’s big big stacks of books on the kitchen table growing up and learned how to teach. He taught himself how to fly and, and never forget the day when you know, looking up, you know, and our 900 square foot house in Louisiana and see my dad do his first flyover. And so we named the company TwinEngine after my dad. Because he says you know, you gotta learn how to fly small planes before you buy big ones. So it’s pretty cool.
