This October, my first book, Shape Your Brand Story, will be published. Today, I'm inviting you to play a part in what happens next.
For the next 21 days, I'm inviting you into the world of Fonn, my storytelling studio, so you can discover all the ways we can shape your brand story together.
As part of this, I’m also asking you to support me in sending my first book to print on Friday 25 September.
To get involved, you can:
Sign up for my Sparking Stories workshop or a Sounding Board session, experiences created especially for this campaign.
Join me for the return of the Brand Seasons® Playgroup this November, which has been timed to follow the book launch.
Check out my existing Brand Waypoint, Brand Trail and Brand North services as they may be more aligned!
I can’t wait to collaborate with more founders, makers and creatives over the coming months. This campaign will help you get to know me better and experience the deep work of brand strategy, styling and storytelling that I love.
Most of all, your support will help to send Shape Your Brand Story out into the world.
Join me to crowdfund the next chapter
The story so far
My upcoming book, Shape Your Brand Story, distils two decades of brand-building into a companion for founders, makers and creatives.
The book is based on my Brand Seasons® Method, the same framework behind the Brand Seasons® Playdeck, which I funded through Kickstarter, raising over £10,000 with 120 backers. Incredible and exhausting!
This time, I’m doing things differently. Publication will happen regardless, but can I bring the book into the world with a little more ease and give my new studio a solid foundation at the same time?
Writing and designing this book has meant other work has taken a back seat. When my book goes to print, that changes, so I've gathered all of my offers into one place for you to explore.
My personal trainer recently shared a philosophy with me: all or something is better than all or nothing. And that’s what crowdfunding through my own website offers.
The chance to build excitement around everything that comes next.
My target is £10,000, which funds the printing and publication of Shape Your Brand Story.
The book will go to print no matter what. But since it’s being designed and written by me, and published with a boutique (hybrid) publisher, I'm responsible for all costs upfront.
I’m pleased I chose this route because it feels like the best of both worlds: collaboration with a publisher and editor whose work I deeply admire, and the creative freedom of making decisions on the finishing details and touches. It’s this graphic designer’s dream!
But the process is demanding and, at times, solitary, so I want to bring some joy to this last push to prepare for print.
Our goal
NOTE: We're already 25% of the way towards target (26.7% if we’re being really specific!) so a huge thank you to everyone who supported so far!Play a part
