CREATE A BUSINESS THAT WORKS FOR YOU

After years of putting in the hours turning your skills into expertise, you realize that you know what you’re doing. You got your skills game down. After years of playing the “corporate game”, politicking your way to the middle, coming face-to-face with the reality that your life energy is precious.

After years of trading your time for money, feeling undervalued, marginalized, and pushing down those thoughts of creating your own schedule, financial stability, and freedom you finally decided it’s time to listen to those internal whispers that got louder every year. Life is more important. It’s time to create something that you are passionate about…now. It’s time to balance your work and your life. It’s time to be a role model for your family, for your community. It’s time to generate long-term wealth on your own terms. It’s time to have more control over your time. It’s time to start your own business.

For over 30 years, we’ve been mentoring entrepreneurs, small business owners, and women transitioning from careers to starting their own businesses from all around the world with the processes, the tools, and the guidance to confidently develop a clear and sustainable path for their business from an idea, to brand, to market.

With our award-winning strategic creative & marketing agency, Verve Integrative, we’ve created thousands of new business brands, thousands of ground-breaking market entry launches, thousands of advertising campaigns, and thousands of people confidently entering the market with their products and services.

With BrandU® Pro, we pull back the curtains and let you pull up a seat beside us to learn exactly what we do for our agency clients and how we do it, the same exact steps, the same exact processes, the same exact results to get market-ready.

The only difference is…we guide you to do it all for yourself...at a fraction of the cost.

It All Started…

BrandU® was an accident. At least at first. Partners Kim Castle and W. Vito Montone were trying to figure out how to survive—not to build a premiere brand-development training program. By becoming the first people to introduce brand development to entrepreneurs and small business owners in 2003, BrandU took off like an electric train going 200-miles an hour and the world changed forever.

 Everyone talks about wanting a brand, wanting to grow their brand, as if “brand” was always a part of the business-building lexicon. It wasn’t.

Back in 2003, brands were something you bought, not something you could be without big bucks. You had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to an advertising agency. That’s why only big companies were brands.

After investing $500,000 of their own money, they focused their strategic creative agency solely on one project. Working 18 hour days for an entire year, and assembling a team of 70 people around the world, they created and delivered a groundbreaking project for a major entertainment studio with a beloved brand...

READY TO TRADE THE HUSTLE FOR A SUSTAINABLE PATH?

01

Plan

Discover how your plan is a living component of your business. We approach this critical foundation differently than most. Bringing into crystal clear light everything from current resources, foundational philosophy, self-care, fear, vision, knowledge, skills, and experience, and the legacy you are creating. Plan is a verb.

02

PREPARE

Establish the elements that ensure that your marketing works for you from the start. Thorough brand development, niche and product development, target customer and irresistible offer definition, funnel and campaign development, research, and much much more. We call this being market-ready.

03

ACTION

Experience the joy and the acceleration of marketing and growing your business. Running campaigns, gaining visibility, growing and nurturing leads, making reliable sales, operations, and growing your business and leadership are the tools to create your business. Successful business is an art form.

YOUR TIME IS NOW

There’s something surreal that happens to you when you break from the life that you thought was a success. A reliable job. Consistent paycheck. Working for a company. The reality that you are working for a living instead of your work working for you.

You realize there’s something more. You realize that you have the capacity, the skills, and the intuition to create more. And once you start creating more you realize there’s even more. It’s as if entire wings of the mansion that is you start opening up that you didn’t even know existed, showing you just how much more there is inside you.

Your world deserves that more. You deserve that more. The world needs that more.

Humanity is going through semic shifts. Something deep inside us is changing. The systems that we have relied on don’t seem so reliable. The pandemic and the aftermath have rocked us at our core. Normal isn’t so normal anymore. We are all going through The Great Reset. Inside and out.

Women have the advantage to lead the world through it. Our fortitude, our resilience, our ability to get a clear vision in our sight and not let go of it until we have it.In addition, the world looks to women for direction, for answers, for calm, for a state of rightness. For all these reasons and more, there has never been a better time to listen to those whispers, follow your intuition, and create the business that you know is inside you.

Whether it’s opening a store to make your community smile and feel more at home…
Whether it’s starting your own firm to create jobs with meaning and impact...
Whether it’s working with mother nature to create a sustainable future for us all…
Whether it’s (fill in the blank)...

The power to create a sustainable business that sustains you, lead these changes, and be a role model is already within you. It starts with saying yes. Yes to your vision. And yes to getting the right guidance to show you the profitable, actionable steps that you get to your dream faster and more reliably.
