What is the Fixing Brand & Tech Misalignment course about?

Brand and tech teams operate in parallel, until the final review, where misalignment surfaces. Copy doesn’t match voice. Design breaks on mobile. UX flow confuses customers. Developers scramble. Launches slip. Revisions pile up. The brand team blames tech. Tech blames vague briefs. The result: rework, missed timelines, and eroded trust. This course eliminates that by embedding brand guardrails directly into the Shopify.
