Is your brand ready for a break?

Join us on Friday August 27th 2021 for an afternoon retreat to define a clear brand strategy and get inspired by likeminded regenerative entrepreneurs.

In this retreat we will reflect on your brand and work out a clear marketing strategy for impact and commercial succes.

You as an impact driven entrepreneur must be working your pants off these days. Constantly juggling between the bigger strategic questions and the operational challenges that demand your attention. I’n guessing, you did not spend much time building your marketing strategy for the coming year. Understandable, but it does keep you from making the mind blowing impact you envision.

This summer is the perfect moment to take some time off to reflect and take the first step towards growing your brand.

What are we going to do?

You will get personal guidance from Marielle Horst-Gussenhoven as a senior marketing strategist with sound experience in building impact driven brands. For the much needed flow and reflection I am teaming up with Tom Elffers, who is a business coach enabling young entrepreneurs to become aware and grow their personal vision.

In this retreat you will:

take time to slow down, learn where your brand is at today and focus on what’s truly important
realign on your brand positioning
learn which brand strategic steps to take next
get connected to an ecosystem of likeminded professionals you need to implement your plans in a disruptive way
get valuable insights from other entrepreneurs on the same regenerative path

Make a great start to scale your brand and deliver on the impact you envision.

What working with me is like

Ptthee

We were at the point that we had made a great start with Ptthee, we were struggling with what’s next. How do we grow this company into a real business and make as much impact as possible? We had lots of ideas but no clear strategy to make proper decisions.

The biggest result we got from working with Marielle is that we’ve build the foundation for a strong brand and we are now super clear on the steps to take in the coming 2 years. We have a solid, consistent and inspiring brand identity and communication approach. We have lots of answers on who to work with and where we want to sell our products. Working with Marielle is a nice combination of pleasant informal meetings while at the same time achieving high quality output.

Any business that has validated its business model and is ready to build a strong brand foundation should make the investment in working with Wholebrands.
