What if your marketing didn’t just sell but actually felt like you? ✨
In this episode of The Luxe Leap, host Reland Logan sits down with Hope Mikal, CEO & Founder of Unicorn Marketing Co, to talk about storytelling-driven marketing, building a values-led brand, and what it really takes to grow a business with heart.
With 14+ years of experience in marketing, content strategy, and community building, including work with global brands like TED Talks, Hope shares how she transitioned from corporate burnout during 2020 to building a thriving branding agency in North Vancouver.
Together, Reland and Hope dive into:
* Founder-led storytelling and why your brand voice matters more than ever
* The fear of visibility and how to overcome being seen online
* Marketing strategy vs. marketing execution and why you need both
* Building systems, SOPs, and sustainable campaigns
* The shift toward high-quality video content and long-form storytelling
* Entrepreneurship with chronic illness including navigating endometriosis
* Creating joy and alignment in business
If you're a creative entrepreneur, women-led founder, or purpose-driven business owner looking to build a brand that performs and feels authentic, this conversation is for you.
