HOW TO CONNECT LIKE A CONSUMER BRAND
(WITHOUT LOSING YOUR SAAS CRED)
In SaaS, clarity matters. Complexity is your reality, but human connection is your opportunity. Your users might love technology, but they trust and remember brands that speak to them as humans first.
Phil Marshall, Executive Creative Director at Mischievous Wolf, notes: “Too many SaaS brands think credibility equals complexity. The truth? Clarity and personality win every time.”
“Humanising your SaaS doesn't just simplify understanding, it creates genuine enthusiasm and engagement with your product.”
