Hi, I'm Joelly, you branding badass, and welcome t my new podcast branding matters I thought I'd take thi opportunity to tell you a littl bit about who I am and why I' doing this podcast. So, who a I? My name is Joelly Goodson La g and I've been in the brandi g and marketing world for almo t 30 years. I come by it honest y actually because I come from a long lineage of branding a d marketing gurus, going as f r back as my grandfather J e Goodson, who by the way I w s named after Joe founded t e publishing and printing compa y Victoria press. Then there's y late father, jack Hudson, w o after initially joining Joe n the family business, S e ventured out on his own a d founded hotel printing, whi h designed beautiful venues f r some of the world's most icon c brands like the brand Sprin s Hotel. Then there's my mo, Sylvia, who luckily is sti l alive and kicking today in h r 90s. Sylvia was a brillia t copywriter back in the ear y 60s. She worked for many yea s at Morgan's department stor, which is now known as the ba. She's also an extremely talent d artist whose masterpieces are n the walls of many of my frien s and family. And I'm so proud o have her art on my walls in y home and cow. I have thr e siblings who have all creat d successful brands of their ow. My baby sister is Tracy and s e is the co founder of co y cottages, which I would be t describe as the Airbnb of t e cottage world. Then there's y older sister Anna Goodson. An a is the founder and president f Anna Goodson management, a successful illustration agen y that connects the world's be t illustrators wi h internationally recogniz d publishers. And then there's y older brother Scott Goodso. Scott is the founder and CEO f a little agency you might ha e heard of called strawberry fro. And they're based in the Empi e State Building in New York Cit. He's also the author of gold n male best seller uprising, whi h introduces us to the moveme t marketing world. And he s launching a new marketing bo k in 2021, which he wouldn't te l me what it's called. But if it s as good as his last one, I cannot wait to read it. Th n there's me, Joelly, the mid le child. I started my career in advertising working a a copywriter at several no ed agencies around town, the m st famous one being Ogilvy nd Mather, which now is known as Ogilvy. After about six years of doing that, I decided, you k ow what, it wasn't for me, an I wanted to make a change. S I joined the wonderful world of marketing merchandise. nd basically I helped my amaz ng clients promote their bra d, with the coolest swag ever. nd I can honestly say, I love t. Life was really good for a wh le until it wasn't in 2015. Af er 13 years, my marriage ended. nd at 48 years old, I becam a single mom with two young b ys and zero financial support. nd as luck would have it, il prices took a huge nosedive t at same year. And since most of my clients oil and gas, my inc me dove right along with it. So to say 2015 was a tough year i a bit of an understatement. Bu I worked my ass off and slo ly started to dig myself out of he dark hole that I was in. nd just when I could see the lig t, fast forward to 2020, and he world turned upside down aga n. But this time, not just for e. But for everyone. Thanks to COVID everything changed, and it continues to change. And i's enough to make your head sp n.
