Vision, Mission, Values and UN Sustainable Development Goals
Our Vision
Better Branding. Better Business. Better Communities. Better World.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that authentic branding has the power to create a profound positive impact. We’re dedicated to nurturing a workplace where every team member is inspired, engaged, and united in a shared journey towards authenticity. This inner harmony naturally extends to our customers, resulting in exceptional care and service. By fostering this authenticity, we not only improve businesses but also contribute to making the world a better place.
Our Mission
Our mission at The Brand Surgery is to transform businesses into powerful brand advocates, fostering positive change not only within organizations but also within communities and the world. We are dedicated to providing top-tier branding solutions that empower businesses to stand out, make a difference, and contribute to the betterment of communities and the global environment.
Our Values
Creativity
Creativity flows through our veins, extending beyond the drawing board. We relentlessly explore opportunities to craft creative solutions that not only captivate visually but also serve a purpose, narrate your story, and engage your audience. Outside of our work, our founder and owner is a thriving digital artist.
Conscious Decision-Making
We’re on a transformative journey to create positive impacts locally, globally, and universally. Our commitment to conscious decision-making extends beyond business. Our founder has been devoted to Raja Yoga at Brahma Kumaris since 2019 and is actively engaged in studies related to spirituality and consciousness.
Community
We believe in the power of community. Building inclusive communities is at the heart of our training, mentoring, and coaching platforms. Initiatives like Talent Within You connect and engage communities, fostering teen self-esteem and enabling collaborations with world-class businesses.
Continuous Improvement
We thrive on learning and continuously enhancing our strengths to improve the lives of our clients and their stakeholders. Our commitment to Continuous Professional Development (CPD) maintains our Fellow Membership status with the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Institute of Leadership and Management.
Continuous Curiosity
We embrace curiosity as a shield against confirmation bias. Our Sage Brand Archetype thrives on discovering new evidence that challenges existing beliefs, driving us to constantly question the norm.
Corporate Social Responsibility:
Introducing the Global Goals
We believe that the Global Goals, with their 17 diverse and vital interests, provide a unique opportunity for every business owner to find a cause that resonates deeply with their values and aspirations. At the core of effective branding lies the power of aligning with a purpose that genuinely matters to you. We’re here to help you discover that alignment and infuse it into your brand, creating a story that not only reflects your values but also connects with your audience on a profound level. In a world of endless possibilities, your brand’s purpose, rooted in the Global Goals, can shine as a beacon of positive change, attracting like-minded partners and customers who share your commitment to making a difference. Below are the four sustainable goals that we are working towards.
Our Four Sustainable Goals: Nurturing a Better World.
At The Brand Surgery, our dedication to sustainability is an integral part of our branding philosophy. We view our sustainable goals as a prescription for a healthier planet and society. With a commitment that’s as unwavering as a medical professional’s care, we’re striving to make a difference. Join us on our journey towards a brighter and more sustainable future.
UN Global Goal 3
Good Health and Well Being
Target 3.4: Empowering Wellness and Mental Health
Empowering Wellness through Branding
At The Brand Surgery, we understand the crucial link between branding and mental well-being. Our mission is to use branding to provide a refuge from the stresses and anxieties of modern life, fostering mental health and overall wellness.
Empowering Teams, Empowering Brands
We’ve experienced firsthand the impact of poor customer service on mental health. This insight has fueled our commitment to help businesses build brands from the inside out. We believe that a brand’s success hinges on the alignment of its team with its core values. Misalignment between employees and the brand’s essence can lead to customer dissatisfaction and, ultimately, harm mental health.
Linking Branding to Good Health
Our work with BOSS CONTROLS, specialists in BMS controls, showcases how a brand can link its products and services to good health and well-being. This reinforces our belief that people are at the heart of brands. Without a harmonious team, there is no brand.
UN Global Goal 5
Gender Equality
Target 5.1: Celebrating Individuality
and Promoting Gender Equality
At The Brand Surgery, we value individuality and uniqueness, striving to celebrate our clients’ authentic identities through branding. We empower individuals to express themselves fully, regardless of societal norms or stereotypes.
Fostering Inclusivity and Diversity
Our commitment extends to fostering inclusivity and diversity in the branding landscape. We aim to break free from limiting gender roles and societal constructs in marketing. Collaborating with clients who seek to transcend boundaries, we create branding strategies that resonate with all, celebrating their unique stories.
Goal 5.5: Ensuring Equal Opportunities
We are actively pursuing Goal 5.5—ensuring women’s participation and equal opportunities in leadership. Our efforts include expanding our board of trustees and increasing diversity on the charity board of Worthing Community Chest.
Our dedication to celebrating individuality, promoting gender equality, and fostering inclusivity not only aligns with Goal 5.5 but also fuels diversity and innovation, creating an inclusive environment that propels progress.
UN Global Goal 11
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Target 11.4: Fostering Sustainability in Cities and Communities
Empowering Sustainable Cities and Communities
At The Brand Surgery, our mission is to empower and inspire individuals and businesses to create lasting positive impacts on their communities. We firmly believe that thriving cities and communities are the heart of any brand’s success.
Celebrating Individuality and Diversity
We are dedicated to fostering environments where individuality is celebrated, and diversity is embraced. Through our branding expertise, we encourage businesses to stand out for all the right reasons, making meaningful contributions to their local communities.
Community Enrichment in Action
Our founder’s work with ‘Talent Within You,’ a program developed to boost the self-esteem of the teenage community in Worthing, exemplifies our commitment to community enrichment. Additionally, our ‘Made by Me by the Sea’ project, which captures the beauty of architectural landmarks, aims to attract investment and draw attention to the preservation of cultural treasures.
Towards Sustainable and Inclusive Cities
By promoting inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable practices in branding, we hope to contribute to the creation of vibrant, sustainable cities and communities where every individual, regardless of gender, can shine brightly through their authentic brands. We are proud to align our values with the goal of creating sustainable and inclusive cities that honor the full spectrum of community life.
UN Global Goal 14
Life Below Water
Target 14.1: Protecting Our Oceans Through Art and Action
Target 14.1 Harmony is our pledge to contribute to the 2025 goal of drastically reducing marine pollution, especially from land-based activities that harm our oceans through debris and nutrient contamination.
A Daily Reminder
My daily reminder of this pressing issue comes from our design studio’s view, which overlooks an overflow outlet into the English Channel. It serves as a constant call to action, motivating me to make a difference.
Community Beach Clean-Ups
In response, I’ve organised community beach clean-ups, uniting individuals in our shared mission to protect our oceans. Additionally, I personally conduct mini clean-ups during every beach walk, knowing that every small effort counts.
Fostering Stewardship Through Art
But our commitment to marine harmony doesn’t stop there. Much of my digital art celebrates the beauty of our coastline, and I have launched a sister brand called Made by Me by the Sea to reflect this, with the aim of fostering a deep sense of stewardship for our precious marine ecosystems.
2024 Workshop: Art, Action, and Education
In 2024, we’re planning a special workshop that will combine art, action, and education to raise awareness about the importance of preserving our oceans and provide practical solutions for a sustainable future.
Protecting Oceans for Generations
Through art, action, and education, we’re dedicated to protecting our oceans for current and future generations.
