We create safe and brave spaces

We help people tackle challenging topics without fear or judgment so that teams can develop their collective understanding of how racism and oppression show up in their work (and how to tackle this).

“You helped us to see the things we can't see. And I think that is immensely valuable. The feedback I've got from colleagues was that it was a revelation to them...you've given them a historical and cultural understanding of some of the issues that we're now trying to tackle that I think was new to them. And that's amazing.”

Signature workshops

Our signature training covers many different aspects of anti-racism, equitable brand strategy and inclusive communications. Each two-hour session is offered in-person or remotely, and focuses on a specific theme. Three months after our initial training, we offer a follow-up session to share feedback, consolidate learning, and explore how the training has been acted upon.

Custom workshops

If you have a more specific goal in mind, we can design bespoke training packages based on your organisation’s specific needs. We can tailor any or all of our signature workshops to align with your brand. In collaboration with you, we can create something completely custom to get you closer to your goals.

“I can't rate Brand by Me highly enough. They made what could have been a very difficult process incredibly easy. I'm not saying it's not hard work, but the process has given us a confidence. We would never say we're an antiracist organisation but we're more confident saying we're on our journey, and we know it's a long-term process.”

OUR PROCESS

Audit

Every project starts with a thorough review of your brand’s ecosystem, a review of your channels, your team, your partners and your processes. We’ll also help you listen to and learn from the lived experiences of your audiences.

Evaluate

Together, we'll develop clear measures of progress and impact so you can easily identify what's working and what needs to change. Remember, your anti-racism journey won’t be linear. Committing to regular reviews, reflection, and improvement makes sure you stay accountable.
