What are the top 3 changes that TEILOR applied following BRAND MINDS?
Following BRAND MINDS, I took into consideration new ideas that could be applied in TEILOR. One of the things that I understood better was the importance of emotional intelligence. Understanding our emotions in the workplace can positively impact the work environment and the relations between peers. This way, we were able to maximize our efforts for each project.
The 2022 edition of BRAND MINDS came with another insight for us: to use all communication channels. Adapting the message to every communication channel helps you reach out to your audience or new segments that might be interested in the brand.
Lastly, I think this event is a reminder to keep innovation and novelty as part of your day-to-day work and approach in projects & advertising in general.
What are TEILOR’s most important insights that the company learned about at BRAND MINDS?
Each speaker brought new insights and information, depending on their expertise. The examples brought a better understanding of how most of the strategies, approaches or ways of working are personalized by each company that chooses to adopt them. This offered me confidence as well as more trust to convey certain approaches towards the team or my peers.
At the same time, we were reminded to embrace change as this is the only constant in the business environment.

In an entrepreneurial business, opportunities can arise at any point so fast decision-making is a key factor. Thus, communication and adaptability are some of the most important aspects of team management. At the same time, to make sure you are on the right path, you need a common & aligned understanding of the goals and objectives.
When it comes to team management, is also important to seek the passion the desire to learn in all team members. Supporting personal development in line with business needs can lead to exponential growth for the company’s results as well as for the teams’ motivation.
