Transform your business through the power of Brand Archetypes

Take My Brand Quiz

Brand Arche - What?

Brand Archetypes should be every marketers secret weapon.  

Having seen first hand how powerful they are, I’ve immersed myself in the theory and applied the practice to every brand I’ve worked on since 2006 – with incredible results.

During my time as Global Brand Director for ghd I grew the brand through leveraging archetypes and making emotional connections with the target audience. As a result, when I left ghd in 2013, the brand had grown from £50m to be worth over £300m.

"I have known Sarah now for over 3 years & during that time she has worked for me on almost all of my brands – HD Brows, KB Pro, Karen Betts & Nouveau Skin Therapy. Sarah’s understanding of brands and brand strategy is exceptional. She has conducted several customer insight projects for me that added real value to our thinking and brand evolution. Sarah is also brilliant at supporting, encouraging and developing less experienced marketers. I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah to anyone"Karen Betts, CEO, Nouveau HD Beauty Group
"Sarah took us through her tried and tested approach to understanding and building a brand which helped us shape our thinking and deliver a very good outcome. She led and interacted very positively with the Hexagon team and if you are looking to do the same should certainly speak with Sarah."Peter Ahye, CEO, Hexagon Consultants
"Sarah was recommended to me as a very competent brand & brand strategy specialist. For the past 6 months we have been working with Sarah & I could not fault her work in any way. It is outstanding. She has created a full brand pack for us, which now forms the foundation of all the marketing decisions that we make. I do not know how we progressed our marketing before she created it. Sarah has also helped us to put together our marketing plan, which is starting to run like a well-oiled machine"Nancy Thomson, Chief Executive Officer, Thomson Environmental Consultants

So That's Me! Well, Not All Of Me...

Besides being a marketer, I’m also mum to two children and a passionate champion of women and their careers.

I’m a strong believer that ‘empowered women, empower women’. Throughout my 25 year career I’ve been proud to support other female marketers to move their careers forward and I hope to continue to do so for many more years to come.
