We've been thinking about how 95% of our current projects are leveraging the power of audio. Audio can help establish deep bonds, and center accessibility in our communications and branded environments.

In a podcast workshop we facilitated with Amelia Hruby last year, she talked about audio's unique ability to build trust, and the light bulbs went off for us.

It showed us how we could apply this insight to virtually every client we work on - for podcasts, of course, but well beyond that, too.

It is offfiiiiccciallllyyyy spring time where we're based (NY and CT!), and we are feeeeelllling it. We could not be happier. Capping off the long weekend, we will also be hosting an event at Casey's restaurant, Coray Kitchen, on Monday, April 29th.

This will be the first event launching the restaurant's new community event series: Community at Coray. Read on to see more about what we're cooking up.

We are so excited to announce the winner of the first-ever partnerUP scholarship: Jana Smith & Renée Wilson.

Renée is the Executive Producer and Jana Smith is the Writer and Creator of Red for Revolution, a six-part narrative audio drama written and directed by Jana Smith centering intergenerational stories of Black women, queer love, and liberation set in both the present and during the 1970s Black Liberation Movement.

In celebration of Women's History Month, we are recognizing the layers and complexities of what that really means. Who is getting left out or not being recognized?

We have seen a ton of International Women's Day posts and want to honor the work that is being done on a daily basis - in communities all over the world. For example, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, who shared an IG post with seven movements and organizations that fight for women's rights across various sectors. This is not a one time a year celebration. This is an ongoing effort to fight for gender equity. Every. Damn. Day.

We're continuing to have really amazing conversations as part of the Partnership Series on the Questions to Hold podcast. This week, we are proud to share our interview with Marti Konstant. Marti has always inspired us and we were delighted to chat with her about how partnership and agility have impacted her life and life's work.

We are honoring Black History Month by learning about the past, and by celebrating the organizations and individuals that are uplifting all of us. One of those is Right at Home of Essex County, a client we've had the pleasure of working with for the last few years.

We're thrilled to be sharing the first episode of Questions to Hold: Unpacking Partnership Series.

This collection of episodes will feature some of our mentors, partners, and collaborators, where we dive into some of the biggest questions and mysteries in partnership.

Hello Questions to Hold podcast community and listeners!

We are celebrating one year since the podcast launched, and are reflecting on all the incredible conversations and insights that emerged on the journey.

Each episode confirmed over and over again the deep and vast terrain that exists when we let questions guide us into deeper relationship with ourselves, the world, and each other.

We're not sure about you, but we are loving the energy so far in 2024. We are entering this year feeling refreshed, recharged, and frankly: excited about the upcoming year. It also happens to be BWB's *official* FIVE YEAR anniversary. Can you believe it? Were toasting the celebration of how much we've learned and grown over the past five years and are so freakin' pumped for what is to come.

Hello friends! Somehow it is already mid-September, and we're over here reflecting on how Labor Day weekend felt like a threshold into a new year. You feeling that, too?

We're back from our Lead with Questions Retreat at Raven Crest and feeling as rejuvenated and dialed into inspiration as ever. Six incredible clients joined us for group, individual and 2:1 process all centered on holding and leading with questions.

Our first client retreat since 2019 is happening in a few weeks at Raven Crest Botanical Retreat Center. As we look back on last year's experience at Raven Crest with our team, I want to share a story with you.

In traditional brand identity work, identity work has been left out. This is a large part of why the status quo has gone unchecked and permeated our industry.

There lies the opportunity to revolutionize how this work is done on a fundamental level. We’re not here to advocate for adding identity work as a supplement, a bandaid, an afterthought, or tacked on at the end of the sentence.

Okay, okay, it is already May, but it's only four days into the month, and we've already had some seriously insightful discussions shaking up all sorts of inspiration and ideas. Spring is definitely here, friends, and the fruits of our imaginations are showing their full colors.  

Spring Break is here and we've closed shop for the week to honor the creative process and center wellness. This time away embodies one of our key business practices, and yes, it is a practice.

We actively work to untangle from the sense of urgency that often plagues our businesses (and lives!). Especially in the service industry where our availability, turn around time and "on-ness" can become enmeshed with our worth, value and commitment to our service.

It looked realllllll sunny outside this morning, but the temperature turned out to still be "dead of winter." However, as the Spring energy continues to build, we are planting lots of seeds, and have been loving where it has been taking us.

We work with entrepreneurs and small business owners to unpack their relationships to marketing, and build their brands without relying on social media.

We've been spending a lot of time thinking about alternative approaches to marketing, and are psyched to be part of the growing movement focused on brand building with or without social media. Three years ago, we shared an Instagram post that said: "You do not need to be on social media to be successful." And every day, we grow more and more committed to showing our clients just how very true, and very possible, that is.

We love you. For real, for real. To celebrate you, on February 13th (this coming Monday!) at noon EST, we are hosting a BWB Love Blast. Who doesn't need a little love right now?

Join us in an honest conversation with executive coach, entrepreneur, speaker and trainer, Julie Ellis (she/her) as we explore questions at the heart of growth and unlocking potential, specifically for female-founded companies and leaders.

Join us in an honest conversation with Sadee Brathwaite (she/her) exploring the role of ritual in our lives and work.
