As far as applying it to my own business, I really doubted that there was anything more to learn after running it for 30 years. Well, to my surprise, there were incredible insights to be gained.

“What Kristine has created with Brandamentals Academy™ is exactly what every emerging brand needs. Her practical no-nonsense approach to sophisticated and smart brand strategy is often out of reach financially for most companies because branding agencies often charge 5 to 10 times as much for the same advice. Kristine has created a step by step process to ensure that your brand will look and feel professional and ready for prime time. I can’t say enough about the DIY aspects of this approach with the added bonus of personal check-ins with a true marketing professional. So before you hire that branding agency, consider signing up with Brandamentals Academy™ today – you won’t regret it.”.
