But isn’t that often the way? As they say diamonds are created through pressure. I am now grateful that all those many years ago, when my boss refused to give me maternity leave, that I decided to blaze my own trail.
The power of CAN is undeniable.
When I create a brand strategy for my clients, I want to develop a connection between customers and the business. To do this, I need to not only understand the business, but its brand personality.
Based on the original concepts developed by Carl Jung, I created a powerful word association Brand Personalities Test that people can take online or in a one-on-one consultation with me. A Brand Personality gives us a powerful psychology-based framework on which to build out a connected and action focused brand strategy. Brand Magic is an AI powered brand strategy platform that takes you step by step through the process of creating a brand strategy using exercises that the big agencies charge $$$ for. Not only do you get access to these tools but the magic lies in the fact that everything is underpinned by your very own Brand Personality, ensuring that your brand smacks with personality.
In this 30 day online program, I take you on a deep dive into the 84 Brand Archetypes.
Yes, you heard right – 84!
This is the most comprehensive archetype training to ensure you’re the expert in the room.
So… I have these awesome businesses. But where to work? Where to bring all of the creative minds together to collaborate and caffeinate?
The answer was simple. The Creative Fringe.
A coworking space like no other, The Creative Fringe is an eclectic converted workshop that provides shared desks, meeting rooms and training rooms for consultants, small business owners, freelancers and commuters to work. We collaborate and generating connections while providing a supportive and inspiring place to work.
Kind of like your general work office… not.
WRD was my first business and I ran it for 22 years. During this time I turned it into a multi-award winning branding agency that specialises in building brands with personality.
At WRD we prided ourselves in being brand specialists and graphic designers who understood the big picture of branding and marketing. We brought this understanding to every job we did, giving our clients so much more clarity on their business and brand direction.
And while we focused on creating brands and design that got our clients the attention they deserve, we were pretty partial to a bit of attention ourselves. With 4 Sydney Design Awards under our belt, as well as an international Stevie Award and too many business awards to count, you could say we like being recognised for the awesomeness we brought to the table! The business sold in 2024.
I’m available for one-on-one consults and to speak at your next event. Simply fill in the form and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
