Be Your Brand Collective, a new dynamic collaboration of female founders dedicated to empowering fellow business owners, recently hosted the highly successful Be Your Brand - Experience Day at The Misshandled Studio in Bollington.

The event, born from a shared passion for empowering women in business, aimed to equip entrepreneurs with the confidence and tools necessary to become the face of their brand. Attendees participated in a series of engaging activities including Colour Analysis, Make-Up sessions, and personalised brand photography, all designed to help craft a visually stunning brand identity.

Key organisers and sponsors of the event included Charlotte of Charlotte Palazzo Branding, Helen of T.Ink Studio, Ellie of Vis-a-Vis Artistry, and Louise of How To Not Hate Your Clothes, known as the Be Your Brand Collective. This innovative collaboration originated when Charlotte, a branding photographer, and Louise, a colour analysis expert, met during a branding photoshoot.

Bonding over their shared mission to help women feel their most confident, they enlisted the expertise of Ellie in make-up artistry and Helen in branding assets and stationary design, forming the Be Your Brand Collective.

Own it Design: Becky, a marketing and graphic designer, helps small businesses elevate their marketing with her creative flair.

Charlotte Harris Hair: Charlotte, a hairstylist, transforms her clients' hair, making them feel confident and gorgeous.

Attendees received expert guidance on brand visibility, participated in Colour Analysis sessions, and enjoyed one-on-one consultations on enhancing brand assets. The event's unique selling points were accentuated by its picturesque setting at The Misshandled Studio, underscoring the essence of Bollington's vibrant small business community.
