Let's start working on it!
brand strategy
Over the next 8 weeks, we're going to help you realise JUST how magical you are, understand what kind of magic you have, and learn how to share that in the world in a way that feels fab to you. All with brand strategy.
The goal? So you can rock up feeling confident AF in yourself and your work, shout from the rooftops about what you do, and attract all the RIGHT kinda people to buy or book in with you!
It's time to stop doubting yourself.
Now's the time to own your magic. Unapologetically.
Why do I need a brand strategy?
When you have a well thought through brand strategy that's aligned with who you are, what's important to you, and where you want to go, you'll be able to:
- confidently show up as the incredible creative you are
- move intentionally towards your goals and dreams
- know exactly who you are and what makes you different
- embrace your unique personality & let it shine
- stand out among other creatives in your industry
- easily attract your ideal clients and customers
- create content that you and your audience both love
- speak up & share the things that are important to you
- gain speaking gigs, sponsorships, collaborations, and other opportunities to grow
- make business decisions that are aligned with your values
- craft an amazing brand experience that keeps clients and customers coming back time and time again
- take action towards the creative life of your dreams
Just to name a few things ;)
And I'm not just saying that! Read these:

You've been in business for a while, but you still haven't stepped into your full magical self and shared that with the world. You're ready to find what makes you unique so you can fall back in love with your business and get excited to create and share your work again!
Sometimes all you need is someone to talk to
- Someone who GETS where you’re at, what you do, and what you want to achieve.
- Someone who will listen while you verbalise what you’ve had churning around inside your brain.
- Someone to bounce your creative work off & throw your ideas around with.
- Someone to work alongside of who’s working on the same things.
- Someone to keep you accountable so you actually do the things you know you need to.
- Someone who isn’t your Mom or your girlfriend or your dog who won’t just say positive things cause they love ya and don’t really get what you do anyway.
- Someone with the expert advice and solid strategy specifically for your business.
We’re creating the space for all of this and more in Map Your Brand Magic. Not only will you have someone just like that in yours truly, but you’ll also have 4 fellow creatives by your side throughout the whole thing. Together, we’ll be here to support, celebrate, listen to, and strategise with you while you build the brand and the business of your dreams. We’ll be with you every step of the way!
From impulsive to intentional.
From unsure to unstoppable.
From confused to confident.
All in 8 weeks.
ready to build a brand you love?
Here's what we'll cover
Week 1: Purpose
Simon Sinek famously said, "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." And what gets your creative booty out of bed in the morning, is going to be your vision, mission, and goals. So in week 1, that's exactly what we'll cover.
At the end of Week 1, you'll know your:
• Goals
• Vision
• Brand Story
Week 2: Philosophy
Where week 1 was all about why you do what you do, week 2 is all about how you do it. This is all about your mission, your values, and your unique approach to your products or services, AKA, what's important to you in business and creativity.
When Week 2's done, you'll have your:
• Mission
• Values
• Unique approach
Week 3: People
You wanna sell your products and/or services, so we've gotta find people to buy 'em! That's why your audience get a whole week dedicated to them, so we can get to know them, understand their needs, dreams, and desires, and make a plan for connecting with them!
In Week 3, we'll cover your:
• Audience archetype
• Ideal client/customer avatar
• Client/customer experience
Week 5: Personality
People connect to people, and your personality is what makes you shine. So to get you speaking up and shining bright, we've gotta know who you are and what makes your personality so magical. That's all about what you say, how you say it, and where you say it!
You'll leave week 4 with your:
• Voice & tone
• Content pillars & platforms
• Brand wordbank & you-isms
Week 6: Positioning
There are a bunch of creatives doing their thing out in the world, so how do you stand out? That's what we're figuring out in week 5. We'll cover what makes you different, how your work is so spesh, and come up with a plan for sharing that all with the world!
In Week 5, we're diving into your:
• Unique selling proposition
• Differentiators
• Strengths & zones of genius
Week 7: Presentation
A picture is worth a thousand words, so to communicate all of the magical things about your brand, we've got to present your brand in all the right ways. We'll turn your strategy into a visual identity that's unique, attractive, and aligned with your brand.
After Week 6, you'll have your:
• Emotional impact
• Visual direction & moodboard
• Colour palette
and we'll do it all in a glorious group!
This is a small program limited to five creatives just like you.
The strategy process is one that takes time, attention, and a personalised approach. I want to be able to give you and the others in our group all three of these things so that you leave with a strategy that is uniquely yours and extraordinarily impactful. So we're capping the group at 5 creatives max.

Weekly strategy work
Each week you'll get a workbook full of questions, prompts and activities that will draw out the magic behind your brand. Depending on the topic of the week, you'll uncover different parts of your brand that will come together to create your strategy.
6 live strategy workshops
When you've done your weekly strategy work, we'll come together for a strategy workshop just like I run with my 1:1 clients where we'll ask questions, delve deeper, and really find out what's at the core of each part of your brand.
2 implementation weeks
At the halfway point and at the end, we'll spend a week bringing your strategy together, so you've got time to catch up, get feedback, implement changes, and make sure everything's ready for you to put into action! We'll have a call these weeks too!
Unlimited personalised feedback
After our workshop, I'll provide detailed, personalised feedback on your work for the week. Need advice on your audience, comments on your content pillars, or musings on your mission? You send it through, I'll work my magic, and we'll crack it together!
Brand strategy templates
The whole goal of this program is for you to leave with an actionable brand strategy that you can use on the regular. To make that easy as, you'll get a template so that you can quickly pop your strategy in at the end of each week, customise the look, and leave with a complete, comprehensive plan!
Private community
Throughout the process and for 3 months after, we'll have a private community to connect in. You’ll be able to chat with your four fellow members and yours truly! Conversations, celebrations, feedback, and accountability galore! P.S. Also a bunch of GIFs. You’ve found your people.
“Working with Hollie has changed the course of my business forever.”
I'm a creative just like you!

My goal in life is to spend my days coaching creatives and working on my own creative practice: hand lettering & typography.
My love of letters is ingrained in my DNA - my Dad and Granddad were both printmakers by trade, working with type to layout newspapers, books, and magazines.
I inherited their passion and throughout my design degree, letters were my freakin’ JAM. I even went back to uni to teach typography to other students, taught my own typography and lettering workshops, had exhibitions of my work, and sold my prints online.
As a creative with an art practice just like you, I understand everything about the creative process and the journey of turning your passion into your profession.
Now it’s my mission to help you do just that and teach you from a place of experience, understanding, and empathy. Trust me, friend – I know where you’re at, I’ve been there, and I’m here to help!
So, ready to map your brand magic?
ooo Hollie, I'm in!Still need to know some things? Well let me whet your whistle a tad.
WHAT ARE THE START DATES?
The next cohort will be in 2023 and will go for 8 weeks!
WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I JOIN?
First, we'll both do a celebratory boogie! Then you'll get instant access to your hub, which is the home for all of our weekly workbooks, downloadable resources, links to group coaching calls, instructions for submitting your work for feedback, and your invite to the private Slack group. I’m in there chatting away, answering all your questions and celebrating your successes throughout the program.
WHAT TIMES ARE THE CALLS?
The weekly calls will likely be at 2pm on Tuesdays NZT, although we'll confirm this as a group to make sure everyone can make it. There will be recordings but since these calls are active workshops, you'll get the most out of it if you can make it live.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE ACCESS TO THE MATERIAL?
You'll have access to the course material for the 8 weeks of our program, and stay in the private group chat for 3 months after so we can keep supporting you while you put your strategy into action!
WILL WE BE CREATING A BRAND IDENTITY TOO?
This mastermind is focused on brand strategy, but week 7 will be all about working on the visual direction of your brand. So we won't actually be designing logos or creating social media graphics for example, but we will be finding inspiration, curating moodboards, and generally directing what your brand will look like. Week 8 is an implementation week where you might choose to start working on your visual identity and get our feedback on it though!
WHAT OTHER SUPPORT WILL I GET INSIDE THE PROGRAM?
We'll meet every week via Zoom for our weekly workshop. Between then, you'll have access to our private Slack channel where you can submit work for feedback, we'll check in on your progress, and work together with the group so you can get things done!
