Brand Power Built In

If you’ve ever tried to build, launch, or grow a tech product, you’ve probably wrestled with this question: How do we really win customers’ hearts and minds?

What separates promising products from true market leaders isn’t just great technology—it’s embedding brand power into your product’s DNA from day one, not as an afterthought once the product is built.

Too many founders and product managers dismiss branding as a fluffy marketing activity that can wait. That assumption kills promising products. As global brand and marketing leader Lifang He reveals, when you build in brand power from the start, you don’t just build better products and experiences—you create a far more valuable business. That’s the hidden opportunity most companies miss.

Drawing on everything she’s learned from launching and scaling breakthrough products for Apple, Amazon, and Ring, plus hard-won lessons from leaders at Rivian, Airbnb, and other category winners, she offers a repeatable framework for building differentiation and lasting value from the earliest stages. You’ll learn how to build brand power into product development, go-to-market, and scaling strategies, and how to navigate AI’s impact on branding, customer experience, and product growth.
