BAB WEbsite Banner

ARE YOU...?

  • A woman in business who is struggling to get your business to stand out on and off line?
  • Running your business reactively without a clear view of what your business stands for and how to communicate its value?
  • Struggling to make the right audience fall in love with your brand and message?
  • Tired of wasting time, money and energy on strategies that don't work?

 

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

We know exactly how you feel. Most small businesses don't invest the time that big brands do in crafting their message to help them stand out from the noise online. Setting up a powerful foundation, that is grounded in purpose, is one of the most important and impactful steps you can take for your business. Sadly, it is often a step that is overlooked or undervalued by a lot of businesses.

Many business owners get completely overwhelmed trying to keep up with all the new marketing tactics and find themselves losing time, money and energy on stuff that is not helping them to grow their business.

WE WANT YOU TO ASK YOURSELF A POWERFUL QUESTION...

What would you do in about 8 weeks from now if you woke up, with a clear brand purpose and message and all of your marketing efforts were simplified and you knew exactly how to speak to your ideal audience with authenticity and conviction?

We will help you to get complete clarity on your business. Our signature programme will help you to create a meaningful brand story that will speak to your perfect audience. We will help you to define who your audience are and where you can find them.

Forget all the marketing gimmicks. It's time to bring it back to the beginning of your story, and get the building blocks right so you can grow your business with confidence and ease, knowing you have done the right research and groundwork.

We are going to share with you the systems and frameworks that the big brands have been using for over 50 years to create powerful and purpose-driven brands.

Imagine the relief and reassurance that would bring to your small business, knowing you are doing everything right from the start. You would be empowered and excited to build your dream brand with confidence and certainty.

Our 8 week programme will provide you with a smart and simple toolkit to help you create a powerful and meaningful brand and a pathway to elevate your business to where it deserves to be in the market.
