Flavilla Fongang, MD at 3 Colours Rule, on Overcoming the Unique Branding Challenges Facing Tech Companies & Promoting Diversity in Digital

The CEO.digital Show Episode 14

Flavilla Fongang is our special guest for this edition of The CEO.digital Show. Founder and Managing Director of award-winning agency 3 Colours Rule, author, brand strategist, plus BBC brand advisor to say the least, Flavilla is at the forefront of the brand experience field. It was with great pleasure that we welcomed her to the podcast.

An award-winning serial entrepreneur, neuroscience brand expert, and founder of agency 3 Colours Rule, Flavilla Fongang joined us in April 2021 for an in-depth discussion on branding, diversity, plus remote working, and so much more. As a renowned international keynote speaker, founder of Tech London Advocates – Black Women in Tech, and host for the Tech Brains Talk podcast series, we’ve been keen to talk to Flavilla for a while.

Top of the list for discussion was the unique work Flavilla has done to help technology brands connect with their customers. We learned why Flavilla finds the technology space so intriguing, why proper marketing is always essential (and should never have its budget cut!), and we talked about the benefits society could reap by decentralising work away from the city.

Also up for discussion:

  • What brands, and technology companies in particular, can do to promote diversity in their firms, starting at the top
  • The subtle art of neuromarketing and the invaluable role psychology plays in successfully connecting with consumers
  • Why we shouldn’t forget about employee wellbeing and the value of face-to-face interaction as more of us work remotely
  • How to establish your brand’s purpose to ensure you deliver more than just a service
  • The current ways in which consumer behaviours are changing and what tech brand strategists should be doing about it

The full podcast is available now on all major streaming services, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and more.
