Revolution Doesn’t Always Roar

Supporting founder-led businesses at a point of change in the market, to stop blending in and start building businesses people remember, choose, and advocate for, because behaviour follows design.

How much is confusion costing you? If customers can’t grasp your value, they hesitate, compare you, and default to price. I support you to build businesses with an aesthetic ecosystem of advantage, that create meaning.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Wayne Dyer

If your business is blending in, leaking profits, or hiding its value behind patchwork fixes, the surface isn’t the problem. Another campaign won’t fix it either. You run the numbers because numbers matter, but numbers don’t make people choose you. Human connection does. That’s where the gap is, between what you as the founder believes, and how your customers see and value you. I support you to change how your market sees you, values you, and chooses you, starting with the signals you send out, not the noise you add to it.

 

  • Break the Pattern — Find the confusion. Name it. Cut it loose.
  • Architect the Difference — Turn hidden value into what people see and feel.
  • Earn the Belief — Earn trust. Watch customers choose you faster.

 

When your brand leads, marketing becomes more effective and sales stop over-explaining.

“I would highly recommend the UnBox Mastermind programme with Barbara and Meg…I knew I needed to refine my brand…What I didn’t realise was the clarity I would gain from participating in the programme…I did say to Barbara at the very end of the programme that if you’d handed me the brand that we’d refined on one page, I really wouldn’t have had the level of clarity and understanding that I got from actually going through the process.”

“The two partners of UnBox are champions in the toughest and most advanced brand program in the world. This is one of those collaborations in which 1+1=11.”

‘Working with Barbara and the CUBE Design Team has been transformational. Through a series of thoughtful workshops, they’ve helped bring Orunova to life, from our name and brand identity to the four pillars that guide everything we do and represent. The energy and depth within Orunova simply wouldn’t exist without Barbara.’

‘…a truly transformational journey…powerfully effective. We explored the deeper meaning behind our work…and step by step built a brand that is genuine, value–driven, and full of purpose.

Barbara asked me all the right questions. What she delivered blew me away. I was amazed at how she managed to pull all the thoughts and feelings I wanted for my business out of me during her brand strategy workshops…If you are changing or growing your business, I would highly recommend having that conversation with Barbara…she really listened to me and understood my business.

‘…I needed someone with credible brand strategy experience to take my business, turn it on its head and catapult me in front of the businesses that I wanted to see me…Barbara of CUBE Design delved right in and the result was a brand strategy that got me to be seen and heard above all the noise.

Thanks for a fantastic job Barbara. The whole process was really enjoyable and it’s amazing how the whole process comes together. I could not be happier with the result. After the rebrand we saw a big improvement in the revenues coming in, from the right type of customer.

I need your wisdom which, for me, always goes back to authenticity that you so beautifully support. I’m thinking about our work all the time. The brand manifesto I got from you is something I reflect on quite often. It’s a sign of your great ability to help articulate what one’s brand is.

Beta Bajgart, Visual Storyteller
Sharon Dehmel

‘…I am so glad I choose to work with you. Our session was so relaxed, you listened and didn’t influence. You guided when necessary and let me talk out loud about so many aspects of my business which I don’t get to share with others, and is so empowering, fulfilling and insightful…’
