Brand kickstart for start-ups

Type: Workshops
Theme: Conscious Branding
Format: In-person Cohort

What do you stand for?
How do you embody it throughout your brand + business?
Does your brand need more depth and energy?
Do you need clarity around who you are as a business, and a better understanding of your customers so you can build a more meaningful brand?

Before you dive into a new brand identity or marketing initiatives, set your brand up for long-term value for you and those you serve. Gain the understanding, tools and skills to build your brand from the inside-out – one that is aware, awake and intentional.

We have consolidated our best processes and tools that we use for business large and small into a powerful three-hour workshop that will give you the clarity and confidence you need to overhaul or kickstart your best brand.

Businesses that enjoy enduring success have core values and a core purpose that remains fixed while their business strategies and practices endlessly adapt to a changing world. Purpose is the guiding light that informs direction, provides meaning and sets your brand up for a sustainable long-term future.

What’s covered?

The three-hour one-on-one workshop is a first in-depth exploration of your authentic brand. We work with our specially designed tools to uncover your unique personality and to identify your core values, what’s most important to your business, and what drives you from an innate, human level. This is the first step in building a conscious brand and turning ambiguity into certainty.

What are the outcomes for you?
Format and pricing

One-day small group cohorts of only 2-4 participating startups are run throughout the year. 

We also have a format of this course available on-demand and one-to-one.

Who should attend?

Founders of small startups in either early stages of development or looking to level up.

Strategic support for Steiner Schools

Virtual Cohort
We’re collaborating with SEA to help build the positive perception and growth of Steiner education in Australia. The beauty of Steiner schools is their diversity and individuality – this is to be celebrated while we find ways to come together to advocate, promote and support Steiner education and each other.

Conscious Brand Academy

Virtual Cohort
Build real connection with your customers and employees, establish brand awareness, and embed deep trust through alignment and consistency over time. If you’re only focussed on marketing and promotion, without mindfully building brand connection and trust, any growth you achieve in the short term will not be sustainable.

Customer understanding workshop

Virtual Cohort, In-person Cohort, In-house On-demand
If you’re working to gain clarity around your brand, knowing the people you best serve is an important step in the process. To build a meaningful brand, it’s important to look at who your customers are as people through qualitative research into values, aspirations and behaviour, rather than only looking at quantitive data.
