Zoltan Lorantffy says it's usually a brand problem. Zoltan is the founder of BrandRelate Marketing — a brand strategy and AI marketing agency helping small and medium-sized businesses look credible, communicate clearly, and grow with purpose. He brings 25 years of corporate brand experience, including work with global firm Interbrand, to the SMB world. In this Canada Growth Network Power Hour session, Zoltan breaks down what a brand actually is — and why most businesses are underselling themselves without knowing it. He covers brand value, the three ways a brand creates real worth (driving choice, securing loyalty, commanding a premium), and why your brand story is the one thing that holds all of it together. He also gets practical about AI. Fifty percent of consumers are now using AI to find products and services. If your brand isn't showing up in AI-generated answers, you're invisible to half your market.
