Building HERO BRANDS for Solopreneurs through Brand Strategy + Design Frameworks + Hero Systems → Reducing Content Design efforts by 70% + Improving Brand Recall → attracting PREMIUM clients consistently.

Everyone says, ‘Build your Brand Identity’, that's the best way people relate, connect, and remember you.
It’s easier to say than to ‘Create’ your HERO BRAND Identity.

I’ve seen:

➔  Amazing people lost in trying different ways to create a cohesive Brand Identity on Social.
➔  Consistently write good content, but get stuck when putting it into a good design that attracts engagement.
➔  People feel disconnected from their Branding and give up because they don’t see the results and quit only to make it worse.

👇 This is how ONE of my clients reached out:

"I feel overwhelmed and don't know how and where to start.

There was a time when I wasn't overly critical of myself, but now I just have a sort of paralysis when it comes to Branding & Designing Content.

The very thought of all this has left me procrastinating for months."

🎓 After being on my 1:1 Champions Program 🏆

"Joining your Champions Program was the best decision that I have made in 2022.

I was looking for a Coach who could help me with Brand Strategy & Brand Design to attract my ideal clients and build a brand that could help me stand out.

I could have easily seen myself wasting 100’s of hours, thankfully this program gave me a ton of value.

Balaji, you’ve always been encouraging, patient, and available for any guidance/support throughout the program, making the entire experience so rich and seamless."

Successment

Successment exists to provoke economic visibility for underrepresented talent. We do this by partnering with diverse B2B startups to grow them to their first $10MM in revenue. How? Through this hot thing called Revenue Operations. It's mostly science, a little art, and 100% passion.

Pipeline Equity

Pipeline improves the financial performance of companies by closing the intersectional gender equity gap (gender plus race, ethnicity, and age). Pipeline's SaaS platform uses artificial intelligence to assess, address and take action against the gender inequities present throughout the employee lifecycle. 

This issue is not only about good sense, this is about dollars, too. Big dollars that turn heads to create social change. Pipeline’s original research across 4,161 companies in 29 countries found that for every 10% increase in intersectional gender equity, there is a 1-2% increase in revenue.

Content Editor

Maple Leaf English School

I taught English to native Portuguese speakers ages 10 to 55. As a teacher at Maple Leaf English School, I had a lot of autonomy in planning and implementing my English curriculum. I found that dancing, Play-Doh, and endless colored verb charts made classes a success.

I helped my college peers adapt to and thrive on campus. Resident Assistants play a large role behind the scenes: planning campus events, promoting the wellbeing of on-campus residents, and ensuring resident halls are safe and secure.

Resident Assistant

Meet the Middle East

I completed 100 hours of service work with this amazing organization. I'm most proud of the fundraising campaign I spearheaded to support the participation of 18 accomplished high school students in a diplomatic tour of Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

This opportunity allowed me to demonstrate my knowledge and interest in Middle Eastern affairs, all while making a positive impact on the organization.

Branding that CONVERTS ✨ Get a 1-click visual identity for your personal brand

You need professional graphics for your business. Your two options are:

1️⃣ Piecemealing your brand and wasting time with DIY templates that look cringe. 

2️⃣ Hiring an expensive designer and becoming reliant on them to make every edit ever.

— Or — 

3️⃣ Getting your hands on a fully customizable, expertly-designed suite of brand assets that make you look 7 figures (without spending 5).

That’s Digital Brand Kit. It’s all the cachet of a custom brand without the custom price tag.

✔️ Expertly-curated fonts, color palettes, and images

✔️ Every design asset your business needs (for emails, blogs, lead magnets, custom courses, webinars, social platforms, the press, speaking, podcasts, and videos)

✔️ One cohesive design style tailored to your personality 

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

Digital Brand Kit might be for you if:

✔️  Your visual identity doesn’t reflect your level of expertise, but you don’t have the skills to package yourself up in a way that looks professional.

✔️  You are on a never-ending hamster wheel of content creation and feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to execute on all your marvellous ideas. 

✔️  You get comparisonitis seeing other people who are killing it with polished and professional branding so you hide, delay, and procrastinate.

✔️  Your brain is buzzing with new content ideas but as soon as you start working on something, it takes forever and never looks as good as you imagined it in your head.

✔️  You spend way too many hours pixel-pushing on Canva and not enough time doing the work you love.

✔️  You’re constantly learning new strategies to grow your business, but when it comes to actually implementing the stuff you’re learning, it feels like you only have half of the puzzle pieces.

Does any of that sound like you? If so, we created Digital Brand Kit for you. Because you deserve a brand you’re proud of. One that makes you smile and show up more in this wonderful thing we call life. 🫶
