Recognising Innovation in Branding for Small Businesses

“I’m absolutely thrilled that Brand Satellite has been named a finalist. It’s an incredible honour to be listed alongside some of the UK’s most ambitious and exciting businesses.

This nomination follows the launch of Brand Satellite’s innovative 28-Day Brand Launchpad—a unique, group-based brand creation programme designed specifically for independent consultants, coaches, and small business owners. It’s the only programme of its kind in the UK that enables entrepreneurs to transform their business into a fully-fledged brand in just 28 days.
A Game-Changing Programme for Small Business Branding
Unlike traditional brand consultancy, the 28-Day Brand Launchpad combines daily activities, live group feedback sessions, and peer collaboration. Participants benefit from a shared learning environment, offering diverse perspectives, accountability, and expert guidance.
“Trying to create a compelling brand alone is nearly impossible,” says Etherington. “This programme is like having a board of directors for 28 days—guiding you as you craft a brand that truly represents your business.”
The support doesn’t end after 28 days. Participants receive 12 months of ongoing support to help embed their new brand into every aspect of their business communications.
Client Success Stories
Entrepreneurs who’ve completed the programme report remarkable business growth and confidence.
Ruth Friedman, founder of Lead Being You, shares:
“Before working with Giles, I had tried a million different ways to get my work out there. The 28-Day Brand Launchpad was a game-changer. It gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to shine. This year, my work has reached new heights. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made in my business.”
The next 28-Day Brand Launchpad starts at the end of August 2025.
