Who Is This For?

EVERYONE with a brand needs some level of branding strategy. Yes, everyone — no matter the size or type of business.

Of course, it’s a little more complex than that. Different businesses need different strategy methods. Size, structure, and phase all play a role.

Brand strategy is rarely a simple off-the-shelf solution. Why? Because the nitty-gritty details in your business are unique to you. That uniqueness matters.

This is why I created two distinct brand strategy services. This way, I can meet the needs of the businesses I work with best.

Working with Laura over the years has been a continual game-changer for me and my brand.

Working with Laura over the years has been a continual game-changer for me and my brand. From a personal branding shoot around a conference, to committing to her online program, to the thoughtful AI colour work that honoured my grey hair journey – it’s all felt deeply personal and creatively energising. As a fellow creative, I love our tête-à-têtes! Laura just gets me. Every time we work together, I walk away with more clarity, confidence, and a fresh sense of oomph. It’s made a huge difference to my focus and visibility over time.

The results continue to compound in my business every single day.

Back in 2016, I nearly booked with Laura, but the timing wasn’t quite right. When I came back in 2022, I didn’t just want great images, I needed clarity. Laura’s Brand Strategy Day filled in gaps I didn’t even realise were holding me back. Everything aligned: visuals, messaging, positioning. Since then, I’ve been able to delegate more, show up consistently, and get my time back. The results continue to compound in my business every single day.
