Your Logo Isn’t the Problem—Your Messaging Is

In this truth-telling episode of The Shift Spotlight™, Winter Paskins sits down with branding expert Justin Bieganek, Founder of Mercury Creative Group, to unpack what your brand is really saying—and why it might not be what you think.

From ditching vanity logos to aligning your brand with real business outcomes, Justin doesn’t hold back on what it takes to truly connect with your audience—and lead with authenticity in the AI age.

Inside this no-BS conversation:

🔥 Why your logo doesn’t matter (until it does)

🔍 How to uncover why your audience isn’t connecting

🤖 Using AI without losing your soul—or your story

💡 What a real brand overhaul delivers to a CEO or visionary

⚠️ And: The costly risks of clinging to clever names or DIY messaging

Whether you're mid-rebrand or still riding on legacy messaging—this episode will change how you think about brand, growth, and leadership.
