With 25 years of experience in branding and marketing, including a background as a brand photographer, Raquel brings a trained visual eye to brand building, helping clients see their brands in a completely different way. In photography and writing, a vignette directs your attention to what's worth seeing, the details that make the story. That's the whole idea behind this show. Most brand problems aren't complicated. They're just things you've never been shown to look for, or never had the clarity to name. The messaging that isn't landing, the audience that isn't connecting, the brand that looks fine but doesn't feel like you, those are symptoms. This show goes after the root. Expect candid conversations, real brand strategy, and the kind of ah-ha moments that make your next move obvious. Because the most engaging, expressive brands aren't built on trends or templates. They're built on the stories and perspectives that were always there, just waiting to be brought into focus.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T20:17:17.688557+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vignette-effect-7229118"},"episode":{"title":"What Small Businesses Can Learn from Six-Figure Website Proposals","slug":"what-small-businesses-can-learn-from-six-figure-website-proposals","published_at":"2026-04-10T14:35:40+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vignette-effect-7229118/what-small-businesses-can-learn-from-six-figure-website-proposals","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vignette-effect-7229118","url":"https://the-vignette-effect.simplecast.com/episodes/what-small-businesses-can-learn-from-six-figure-website-proposals-Te6gXT2C","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/e9ba1900-e6a5-4c37-9e05-af48548c3e3d/5bf5335c-631d-45fb-a655-f70fb46489db/episodes/audio/group/bf80e44c-a472-47bd-8310-d9940bac7729/group-item/84da0907-dec9-4783-b9fc-936301c90455/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=7H9jcliI","summary":"What can small businesses actually learn from six-figure website proposals?
