🚀 Step-by-Step to Discord Branding Success
In 2025, Discord is more than a community tool — it's a platform to build full-fledged brand ecosystems. Here's how to start:

- What value do you provide?
🎨 Step 2: Design the Experience

- Channel naming matters: avoid clutter and confusion
- Use separators like ✦ │ 🔹 │ 🧠 to guide attention
🤖 Step 3: Automate the Journey
- Reaction menus, dropdown onboarding
- Auto-welcome & verification flows
- Tiered roles to unlock channels, features, or rewards
