"I have a killer Brand DNA
that guides everything I do."
Symone, beauty founder, Cocoa nail art
I left the container with a mini MBA in marketing and branding. Now, I have a killer brand DNA which guides literally EVERYTHING I do for my business. I was OBSESSED with the final product and so geeked because I built this amazing thing that was sitting in the back of my mind.
"One of the best investments I’ve made."
Meghi, wellness brand, nayna [launching 2025]
After the MIM Container, I gained expert perspective, guidance, and validation through an in-depth 4-week process that clarified my brand’s opportunity and direction. Sax made the path to building my brand feel clear and linear.

The uncomplicated makings of a
good brand versus a whatever brand.
The Sticky Brand DNA Framework is a culmination of over a decade of entrepreneurial experience and insights cultivated from my experiences as a founder, as a brand strategy consultant, and as a fractional CMO; today I’m here to make sure you have a crystal clear idea of how your brand will show up in the world and what sets you apart from all of the offerings out there.
I’m in my IFGT (I fucking got this) era and my mission is to pass my expertise onto as many people as possible with Creating Forward Studio—because, there are some things that can only be learned by having first hand experience, especially when it comes to starting and launching a brand or building a business.

You think you have it all figured out in your head but when you come to talk about it, you can't figure out how to say it in a way that sticks with people. 🤔
You change your mind every 5 minutes when it comes to the strategic direction for your brand, so you don’t have a brand story let alone a founder story or a legit customer profile…even you don’t know what your brand stands for anymore. 😵💫
You’re still waiting for that a’ha moment where it all falls into place; that moment your brand comes together, you have content ideas on tap and are connecting with your dream audience. 🥳
YOU CAN’T FINISH ANY GRANT APPLICATIONS BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE A CLEAR VALUE PROPOSITION OR ANY RESPONSES YOU FEEL GREAT ABOUT TBH. 😓
ANXIETY IS IN COMPETITION WITH ALL YOUR AMAZING IDEAS, CLOUDING YOUR JUDGEMENT WITH CIRCLING DOUBTS LIKE “IS THIS EVEN A REAL THING?” 😰
WHEN YOU GET ASKED WHO YOUR TARGET CUSTOMER IS—ALL YOU HAVE IS "28 YO, NOT MARRIED, LIVES IN NY, LIKES WELLNESS" WRONG ANSWER... 🫤

MOMENTUM IS WAITING FOR YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH YOUR STICKY BRAND DNA
I SEE YOU… I’VE BEEN YOU…
I SEE YOU…
I’VE BEEN YOU…
Beauty, wellness, and lifestyle founders come to me with their vision; but they’re lacking the strategy to put the pieces of the puzzle together and bring it to life.
They are looking for a set of guardrails, like “this is who we are, this is why we are here and this is how we show up for our customer and what we have to say”
This is where your Sticky Brand DNA comes into play, to set the foundation of your brand universe and provide the guardrails and direction you’ve been looking for.

WHO IS MOVE INTO MOMENTUM FOR?
You have started product development and are ready to build a brand to support its success
You are at concept stage with a bunch of ideas but you’re looking for a strategic thought partner to help turn them into a business and a roadmap
You have hit the market but it’s been a soft start and you’re realizing your brand is full of gaps because you skipped over the strategy piece
You have had some level of success but you’ve moved on since then your brand and doesn’t align with your vision anymore
I’M READY TO MOVE INTO MOMENTUM
My Sticky Brand DNA Framework and my mentorship method is the most effective for visionary beauty, wellness and lifestyle founders or early-stage consumer product teams who are usually at one of these stages:
Let's get into Creating
Forward momentum together
Imagine a world where these things are part of your reality:
It’s so magnetic, people can't help but talk about it. You’re not Selena Gomez but we can pull some strategy strings to get close.
We’ll walk the path together, all the way to your IFGT “I fu@king got this” power stance.
Your DNA is leading the way, it is so clear that you have a steady flow of impactful ideas to feed your marketing strategy too.
Your content channels are full of on-point conversations.
You own a brand that people are obsessed with.
'WTF next?' anxiety becomes 'IFGT' milestones.
Each week builds on the next, doubts about the viability of your business or what to prioritize next in are replaced with focussed strategic thinking.
You know how to connect with them time after time, you feel like you’re closer to being BFF’s than ever before and the feeling is mutual.
You are fluent in your dream customer’s language and it’s landing.
Let's get into Creating Forward momentum together
We are back in the era where brand is king and the customer is queen—but wait up, because your brand identity isn’t a “brand”.
I can talk about it all day (like I do on IG here and here) but here’s the quick answer:
A brand that speaks directly to it’s target customer, aligning themselves with their needs, and makes them want to tell all their friends about it.
This foundational piece of work inform your visual identity, content strategy, and marketing decisions. It bridges the gap between your product and your customer, on an energetic and physical level, you can become a part of their personal brand DNA; getting you on their “I’m telling all my friends about this” list.
Before you’re like, “Oh I have that” it goes beyond the OG ad-world days of “mission, vision, values” and like most brands I work with, you probably don’t.
WTF is a Sticky Brand DNA?
STICKY BRAND
STICKY BRAND DNA
WHEN STICKY BRAND DNA CONVERTS INTO A COMMUNITY OF BFF-LEVEL CUSTOMERS
Something that started out as a market research project to validate our hypothesis for a brand I co-founded, OVERT, included stalking girls who were hustling around NY and taking photos of them going from the laundromat to Wholefoods salad bar or from the subway to the cocktail bar, turned into the core of our business and a second product category we didn’t even know we were creating - community.
Follow The Girl, became a full-blown content engine, community and ambassador program. The OVERT City Girls were a living breathing representation of our brand DNA and became our walking billboards. Girls all over the world (!) started ordering our bags and tagging us to share their own City Girl moments with us and they were totally the embodiment of Jen (our target customer profile)
One of my many favorite IRL experiences of seeing the power of a strong Brand DNA meeting authentic community marketing, was when I was at Soho House working away on one of the billion things on our to-do list, and a girl sits next to me, and she’s COOL, I was girl crushing, I even remember what she was wearing THEN she pulls up her bag to get her laptop out and it was MY BAG I approached her and as we started chatting, it turns out cool girl IS cool, she worked at Man Repeller as an editor, which at the time was the coolest publication in NY and our DREAM.
This girl, was a cut and paste edit of our ideal customer, she found my brand, she bought my product, and now here she was living it - I just love this story because it’s a perfect example of how knowing your customer, and positioning your brand marketing so that you REACH them, works. And when you get those customers, (versus a random hope for the best one from an unintentional ad or misplaced marketing) they are advocates, they become walking billboards for your brand, they tell their friends about it and that is how you build loyal brand equity which means sustainable revenue.
FIND OUT HOW
I want that to happen to you and I can make it happen.

HOW TO REGISTER
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
What makes the Launchpad different from other mentorship programs?
What can I expect to achieve by the end of the program?
How involved will you be in the process?
Are there any prerequisites for joining the Launchpad?
How much time should I set aside to make the Launchpad most effective?
How do you personalize the mentorship to fit each founder?
Unlike other programs that may offer generic advice and leave you to implement strategies on your own, The Creating Forward Launchpad is deeply personalized. I work with you 1:1 to execute strategies live, understand your unique founder motivation and style, and apply disruptive, budget-smart marketing tactics that truly set your brand apart.
What makes the Launchpad different from other mentorship programs?
By the end of our 12 weeks together, you'll have validated your business concept, developed a unique brand DNA, and created a multi-channel marketing strategy that doesn't rely on a big budget. Expect to feel confident, clear, and excited about the future of your brand, with a hyped-up customer community who are eager to engage with what you offer.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO ACHIEVE BY THE END OF THE PROGRAM?
I’m with you every step of the way. From live 1:1 mentor sessions to ongoing support through digital comms and voice notes, I’m there to provide expertise, encouragement, and accountability. You're not just getting a mentor; you're getting a partner who's as invested in your success as you are.
HOW INVOLVED WILL YOU BE IN THE PROCESS?
The main prerequisite is a readiness to dive deep and take action. A clear idea of your brand and what you want to achieve helps, but the Launchpad is designed to refine your vision and strategy regardless of your starting point.
ARE THERE ANY PREREQUISITES FOR JOINING THE LAUNCHPAD?
To get the maximum results, I recommend setting aside approximately 5-7 hours per week. This includes time for our 1:1 sessions, implementing strategies, and engaging with the provided resources. Remember, this is more than just a commitment of time; it's an investment in your brand's future. The effort you put in is directly proportional to the outcomes you'll achieve. Our journey together is designed to be intensive yet incredibly rewarding, setting you up not just for immediate wins but for sustained growth and success.
HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I SET ASIDE TO MAKE THE LAUNCHPAD MOST EFFECTIVE?
Personalization begins with our first interaction. The Visionary Founder Discovery Questionnaire and initial strategy call allow me to understand not just your business, but you as a founder—your strengths, challenges, and aspirations. This insight guides the customization of your Launchpad experience, from the selection of strategies we pursue to the way we tackle your challenges, but the fundamental Creating Forward Framework relies on my guiding principles for building a successful brand.
HOW DO YOU PERSONALIZE THE MENTORSHIP TO FIT EACH FOUNDER?
MOVE INTO MOMENTUM AND CREATE a brand people are obsessed with.
MAKE 2024 THE YEAR YOU…
Let's start Creating Forward together
Your vision is big, your potential is huge, and you know it’s time to turn that potential into reality.
