Stand Out

Even in the Most Crowded Industries

“Women, ages 25–40, college-educated” is a demographic category. A target market is knowing their struggles, aspirations, values, and understanding why that person chooses you over everyone else. In 50 minutes, you’ll learn the framework that makes that distinction and builds a brand around it.

Who Should Attend

This Session Is For You If…

You’re finalizing your business plan and want your target market and marketing sections to actually hold up under scrutiny.

You know what you want to sell but you’re struggling to explain clearly why someone should pick you over anyone else.

You want to understand how brand strategy and marketing work together — not as buzzwords, but as a real system you can actually build from.

Melyon Smith

Brand Strategist

BROKEN CHAIN MARKETING

Melyon started as a creator, ventured into E-commerce, and spent years figuring out why some brands cut through while others get ignored. That question became a career. For the past 4–5 years, he’s run Broken Chain Marketing, a boutique brand strategy agency helping service-based businesses build distinct market positions through strategy-driven design.


The work has taught him one thing above everything else: branding isn’t about picking your favorite colors. It’s about building a clear, honest message that makes the right customer say, “That’s for me.” That’s what this session is about.
