The Brandable & Co. #payitforward initiative
We're grateful for our clients and the exciting work we do so if you are one of them, thank you! We're also very aware that there are incredible people out there who are changing lives for the better, but who may not have access to budgets, who don't take salaries and if they do, they're minimal. We all have a social responsibility to leave the world better than we found it so in order to balance things out, a #payitforward initiative was created when Brandable & Co. launched and rather than sitting here being aware that people are missing out because they don't have the budget for it, we're doing what we can, with what we've got!
#payitforward
Pro bono
project work
Every year we work with up to four organisations, free of charge. So far, we've delivered workshops, talks and events to schools, universities, mentoring programmes, charities, NGOs, and non-profits. We're particularly supportive of education, future leaders, and women-led initiatives, but we are open to everyone. Our 2021 projects have been agreed and are listed below. If you know of an organisation that would benefit from being part of our 2022 #payitforward initiative, please get in touch via the contact page
#stopundersellingyourself
One year
One million people
2021 marks the start of a year long challenge to reach and encourage one million to stop underselling themselves. We'll be running events, sharing content and partnering with organisations to amplify the message. Our goal is positive impact, not profit so we've included it as one of our 2021 #payitforward projects and all #stopundersellingyourself events will be delivered free of charge. Visit the events page to see what's coming up and if you'd like to host one of these events to your community, get in touch via the contact page
