Welcome to How To Build A Brand


Who We Are

We are business owners and consultants who have worked with many companies, over many decades, helping them to build their brands. Our venture, How To Build A Brand, gives us the opportunity to cost-effectively share our decades of experience across multiple sectors, with you as founders and your teams at whatever stage of business you are at.

We designed How To Build A Brand to support you to realise your ambitions and build thriving businesses. We know that many brands need our skillset but do not have the necessary funds to engage - hence the creation of our upskilling Workbooks and Membership options.

What We Offer


Our Workbooks

Eight, knowledge-rich, video accompanied Workbooks for every key area of building a brand. Every one gives access to 4 of our Live Q&A Clinics too. Choose from Let's Get Started (an intro to all 7 areas), Branding, Website, Marketing, Retail, Public Relations, Influencers & Events.





Executive & VIP Memberships

Our two Membership Options - Executive and VIP offer a community of fellow business founders via 30 Live Q&A Clinic Sessions p.a for you to bring any workbook questions to for real time problem solving with us. VIP Membership also offers expert speakers, so do come and join us.



Consultancy

If straightforward consultancy options are required, we can offer those too. All our Consultancy options are offered with Eike & Emma together to bring dedicated, maximum problem solving and expertise capabilities to your brand questions.
