  That sounds entirely appropriate if she does branding for hair salons. She does branding for large chain stores, financial companies, internet-related companies. If what native English speakers thought mattered tremendously, these would have been major gaffes. As it is, I don't think that's even of secondary importance, most of the time for most of her clients. It might be of great importance if she ever lands a gig with a multinational, though. Her portfolio might chase such firms away. However, if your nudge is directed at her core competency, and your authority consists of being a younger relative in the States, that's going to have to be one hell of a nudge. The fact that I brought up an aspect she'd never thought of before should be one hell of a nudge. The common reaction would be to rationalize my point away. The smart reaction would be different.
