Christine Moley says startups' biggest marketing mistake is copying established brands as closely as possible without infringing trademarks. It creates bland, forgettable products customers won't connect with. Instead, build your own distinct identity and communicate what you actually stand for.

What mistakes, Christine, do startups usually make in marketing? So I think the, the first mistake I see a lot is overnight the founder has an idea, it comes to fruition, and it takes the place of another product, and they replicate the branding as close as they possibly can without infringing upon trademarks because they feel like they're going to get this aura from that brand onto their brand. That never works, and it usually ends up being very vanilla and something customers can't engage with, um, feel, or really get on board with. So I'd say the, the first thing I would do is make sure you establish your own identity, establish your own principles, make people know what you stand for. Thank you.
