Why People Don’t Trust Brands — But Trust People

Ever noticed this? You’ll skip a brand ad in 2 seconds.

But watch a random creator talk about the same product for 3 minutes.

You ignore company emails. But reply instantly to a founder’s story.

You doubt corporate messaging. But believe someone sharing their personal experience.

Why?

Because trust doesn’t scale through logos.

It scales through faces.

In a world overloaded with ads, polished campaigns, and “perfect” messaging — people are craving something else:

Authenticity.

Relatability.

Human energy.

This meetup explores:

• Why audiences are emotionally disconnecting from brands

• The psychology behind why people trust individuals more

• The rise of personal brands over corporate pages

• How founders and creators can become the face of trust

• How to humanise your brand without looking forced

• The difference between “content” and connection

Whether you're a founder, marketer, freelancer, or creator — this conversation matters.

Because attention is easy to buy. Trust is not.

And in 2026, trust is the real currency. If you're building a brand and struggling with engagement, conversions, or loyalty — this session will shift how you think about visibility forever.

Come with questions.

Come with opinions.

Come ready to rethink branding.

Let’s talk about the trust gap — and how to close it.
