Rafa Arevalo

"This is a golden resource that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone aspiring to enhance their skills and make the leap from an implementer to a strategic thinker."
Anup Biswas
Brand & Identity Designer
"It was a great experience being part of the ‘Brand Rebels for Good’ community. I’ve been in a few communities before, but this one is a real gem in terms of value, insights, guidance, and the clarity I gained after joining your community. Thanks to you for making this community so meaningful and valuable for creative people like us. "
Jennie Yip
Restaurant Gal & Advisor
"What a great opportunity. I've had so much insight and gained so much knowledge and clarity with your guidance from bootcamps to Brand Rebels. This is a no brainer!"
Eduardo Alfaro
Graphic & Web Designer
”I have been a designer for the last 20 years, I have my own agency and I have helped create hundreds of brands. Brand strategy has changed the way we understand online business. Learning from Anneli's hand is the impetus that we were missing, this community gives me a space where I can feel heard and continue learning to improve what I deliver to clients. ”
Isak Lysfoss
Marketing Strategist
"Anneli helped me gain clarity on what makes a great strategy session and how to facilitate a workshop that delivers real results.  Since then, I’ve steadily increased my pricing for strategy work—from $1.5K to $12K. I also have a much clearer understanding of how to package my services to ensure our work creates a meaningful and positive impact on my clients’ business goals."
Jen Navaro
Brand Strategist
"Before Anneli’s coaching, I knew I wanted to expand my offerings to include strategy. After Anneli's coaching, everything changed. My confidence in selling my services skyrocketed. Financially, this was a game-changer, I’ve nearly 10x’d my investment in the bootcamp and raised my package price from $2,500 to $7,000! If you’re on the fence about joining, I hope this helps you say yes. It’s worth it."
Magdalena Dutkiewicz
Brand Strategist
”Before joining Anneli’s community, I was doing brand strategy, but not living it. I had no idea what differentiates me from other strategists, what my niche, or why are. I was frustrated that I could design brands for other people, but couldn’t do it for myself. Anneli’s guidance makes me grow personally and business-wise. I love it!”
Vincent Jacques
Marketer & Strategist
“I’ve been part of the community since the beginning and I can’t even tell you how much I get from it! English isn’t my first language but damned! What a safe place where you can learn, get help, strengthen your mindset, and connect with awesome people!”
Martin Lara Urby
Marketer/Strategist
”I have never felt identified with so many people at the same time and it does not matter if your first language is not English, or if you live in a 3rd world country, everyone is willing to listen to you and contribute with their knowledge and experience. Joining this community has been worth more than dozens of courses I have taken in recent years.”
Stephanie Jadotte
Brand Strategist, Creative Director
“Since implementing Anneli’s brand strategy framework, it has transformed my business. I am now able to provide much more value to my clients by helping them clarify who they are and who they want to serve. I get paid to think and execute. And I have charged a lot more for my services as a result.”
Tommy Wisdom
Brand Strategist
”I’ve run my business for about 8 years now. With Anneli’s guidance and expertise I’ve been able to turn brand strategy into a real career. I constantly have new leads coming in, that are brands I want to work with. I charge a minimum of 10k for branding and have for the last three branding initiatives.  All my client brand strategy initiatives are super smooth and the clients have been delighted with the outcomes.
Zsuzsanna Kliszek
Brand & Marketing Strategist
"This community is exactly what I was looking for: a team of creative and innovative brand strategists, led by a senior professional with an incredible experience - all working towards the same goal: to learn and deepen our knowledge to deliver the best for our clients.”
Ori Kagan

”As an introvert I love the warm and inviting energy in her calls, and even with over 30 people in a call it feels like she gives everyone their time to come out of their shell and realize their true vision, mission and goals.”
