"I recently attended 'Build Your Brand' course with Shadowcat Creative run by the amazing Tammi and I felt compelled to share my experience. I have wanted to re-brand for a while and was well aware that it is way more than just a logo. I know several brand experts, however since I met Tammi a few years ago I have always dreamed of working with her, but knew that at the moment the level that she was on (which is at the top, she is one of the best out there), that it wasn't within my budget, so when she launched the Build Your Brand course I signed up before she had even launched it. The course was a two week immersive course where Tammi coaches and mentors you every step of the way, providing fantastic tools and training, allowing you to create your whole brand at a fraction of the price. It was still a stretch for me as due to Covid19 my business had suffered, but it was worth every single penny and more. I now have a logo and full brand that I am proud of, can say truly represents me and will stand the test of time. I urge any business who wants a brand refresh, or to create a new brand and hasn't got the budget to outsource the whole process to Tammi, to sign up to this course. It is fantastic with a very patient and attentive teacher, but allows you to have fun and inject your own creative flare. Thank you Tammi, you are amazing!"

Happy business birthday to me! 🎂🎉🎁🎂🎉🎁 Three years ago, I had a little dream about starting a business to maybe buy a house in 5 years or so, never thinking it would grow to what it is today. In three years, I've: - Bought my house - Quit my full time job - Helped over 200 of businesses with design and brand work - Celebrated my clients and work be featured in the The Telegraph, The Sun, The Mail, on national and regional TV and across the web - Helped my clients expand, franchise, double/triple their income and take on new team members - Learnt and developed new skills - Launched a Facebook community with @thebrandloungeclub - Launch my first course - Made some the best friends and met the most incredible people I am so grateful for everything being a business owner has brought me and I am so excited for what is coming next. I'll be sharing more this week but for now, I'm off to bake a cake and maybe pour a fancy gin. Cheers to everyone who has been a part of my journey no matter how fleeting, I appreciate every one of you xoxox #shadowcatcreative #buisnessbirthday #brandagency #logodesign #smallbusiness #businessmilestones #businessbuilding #girlboss #womeninbusiness #femalefounder #ownyourbrand #buildyourdreams #dreambig #bossbabe #fempreneur #femalecreative #femaleagency #creativewomen

4 years ago today, my business was no more than a whisper of a dream. I was at Glastonbury Festival (my favourite place on the planet), after taking annual leave from my full time job that was working me into the ground and the thought of being my own boss was just something I joked about with friends. It was always 'yeah, maybe one day...' And today, I'm reminded of how far I've come. Today I... I woke up without an alarm. I went at my own pace to get ready for the day. I spent an hour in a live training session teaching other business owners how to create brands. I spent time engaging with my Facebook community. I made lunch (super important part of the day) Chatted with my coach. Created some graphics. Planned a product launch. Cleared my emails to zero. Clocked off when I was ready to not when the clock hit 5 or counting down the minutes. No headaches. No commute. No stress that makes me question my sanity. I'm incredibly grateful to my past self for taking that step and investing time, money and courage in her future which has allowed me to have beautiful days like today. Why am I sharing this? Because I know how unlikely it can seem but if you are ready, then I invite you to take the next step in your business, head over to the link in bio to join me in The Brand Lounge. I'll see you there, right? Right. #shadowcatcreative #ownyourbrand #branddesigner #branddesign #brandstrategy #thebrandlounge #coachesforwomen #brandmentoring #brandingforwellbeing #brandmagic #brandstudio #brandingforwellness #holisticbranding #graphicdesigner #freelancefemale #brandingforspiritualbusiness #creativestudio #creativebusiness #brandingforcoaches #femalefounder #brandagency #brandadvice #brandingbusiness #brandexpert #empoweringdesign #wonderwomenthrive

It takes time, patience and consistently showing up but it's worth it. No that's not a stock photo, that my friends is today's garden harvest. Like growing fruit, there are things you need to do to nurture your brand to help it become the almighty, business building beauty you want it to be. Is this whole thing a poor attempt at justifying my photo, maybe. But it doesn't make it any less true. If you want to tap into my brand knowledge (and maybe some gardening tips to boot) pop on over to my bio and join The Brand Lounge free Facebook group and get your brand blooming. #shadowcatcreative #ownyourbrand #branddesigner #branddesign #brandstrategy #branding #coachesforwomen #brandmentoring #brandingforwellbeing #brandmagic #brandstudio #brandingforwellness #holisticbranding #graphicdesigner #freelancefemale #brandingforspiritualbusiness #creativestudio #creativebusiness #brandingforcoaches #femalefounder #brandagency #brandadvice #brandingbusiness #brandexpert #empoweringdesign #wonderwomenthrive

Keep it simple and use white space. A mistake I see businesses make time and again is overcomplicating the design of their marketing materials. Too much clutter makes it difficult for the viewer to know where to focus their attention. Confusion = lack of interest = loss of sales. Using white space to give the information room to breathe and a single, well chosen image can have much more impact. Simplicity sells because it makes it easy for the customer to absorb the information. White space and minimal text gives a luxury, high end feel to a piece allowing the product sells itself. No need to overcomplicate or overcrowd. These leaflets were designed for @maguiretherapy to have a relaxed, spa-like vibe to them. Calm and airy. Just how you want to feel after a pamper with these beautiful products.

Recently I've heard the same question asked - what's the difference between Marketing and Branding? This is the famous quote by Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, which I'm sure you've heard before. And he's right. Essentially, your brand is what your audience perceive your business to be by the experience they have had with it. Marketing, on the other hand, is what you say your business is. The difference is subtle but important. You can tell everyone you offer the best/the most/the greatest/the most ethical etc business but if your customer experience differs to that - which do you think will matter most? Yes, marketing is integral to promoting your business, but make sure your brand backs up what you say or you'll lose trust and find sales harder. If you would like to know more about building a brand experience that makes marketing easy, join The Brand Lounge group.

How about having an experienced designer on hand to offer advice and feedback on your latest creation for your business? Oh and how about hearing inspiring brand stories from other small businesses that will give you ideas for your own? Aaaaaaand maybe some behind the scenes content of how I create business-changing brands so you can learn how to take that and use it for your own? And for good measure, it will all be held in a high vibe, chilled and passionate community that you can stop by whenever? Let me introduce you to The Brand Lounge which is all of those things and more. Free to join and kicking off next week!

What are your 'reach for the moon' goals? I'd genuinely love to hear about them in the comments. My big juicy personal goal? I dream of the day I can continue my brand studio alongside my own smallholding. Loads of veggies, chickens, goats, bees and maybe a llama or two. Personal goals are AS IMPORTANT as business goals. these are often the reasons we started this entrepreneurs journey and they are such a driving force for us business owners. Here's the real question: is your business ready to support you hitting those goals? Does it allow you to earn the money you dream of? To work the hours you want? To have the lifestyle you desire? Your brand can help you with all of these. A well-crafted brand makes business easier. And that's how I can help. I work in a variety of ways that can support you to achieve those lunar goals. Whether that's one to one mentoring (for an hour or a month), done for you branding packages, or if you're the creative type, my Build Your Brand course would be perfect. (ahem - starts next Monday). Feeling overwhelmed? You can book a free call in my diary to talk about your single biggest brand opportunity or blocker. You'll be amazed what we can accomplish in 20 minutes. Don't let your brand cost you your dream. Instead, learn how to use it to bring those moon-sized joys to life. Like my client who has NOT ONLY won multiple awards (12+ I believe) since rebranding, but gone on to franchise across the UK AND been featured across national, local and regional TV and press AND has now launched a new product to an engaged community of thousands of women. Whatever you want to achieve - you can. I got you. #shadowcatcreative #ownyourbrand #branddesigner #branddesign #brandstrategy #branding #coachesforwomen #brandmentoring #brandingforwellbeing #brandmagic #brandstudio #brandingforwellness #holisticbranding #graphicdesigner #freelancefemale #brandingforspiritualbusiness #creativestudio #creativebusiness #brandingforcoaches #femalefounder #brandagency #brandadvice #brandingbusiness #brandexpert #empoweringdesign #wonderwomenthrive
