BNI UK & Ireland - Chats with Charlie BNI UK & Ireland

In our latest episode, Lisa Clunie a member of BNI Hook, talks to Charlie about the importance of colour when branding your business. 

Lisa has worked in branding and design for over 25 years, working with international corporates to agencies in London. She set up her own design agency in 2012 (Thrive Studios), but soon realised that it was brand strategy that was really needed to help businesses to grow and stand out in this crowded and noisy world. So, in 2021 she started ‘Thriving Brand’ as a brand consultant and mentor, working with start-ups to small-medium sized companies, working either 1:1 or in groups. To teach them how to build a brand for themselves, whether a personal brand or/and for their business.
