Brand HQ is a powerful platform for all things brand and business. Bringing large-scale agency thinking and strategy into reach for start-up, small and growing businesses.

Brand HQ was founded by two award-winning marketers and successful agency owners, Lizzy & Anna who joined forces to create a powerhouse online platform, making expert-led brand and business strategy accessible to startups and small businesses worldwide. With over 20 years of experience building and scaling brands across global blue-chip organisations and kitchen table startups too, they’ve seen firsthand what it takes to create lasting success at every level of business.

“We started Brand HQ to give women access to the expert guidance they need to build and grow their own business – whether they’re leaving corporate, building a side hustle, or just chasing more freedom,” said Lizzy and Anna, Co-Founders of Brand HQ. “Everyone deserves access to the tools and knowledge needed to create success on their terms.”

Before launching their own agencies, the founders built careers working with some of the world’s most recognised brands. Along the way, they identified a clear gap: too many small businesses were wasting time and money with partners who lacked the commercial insight and strategic expertise to fuel real growth.

Anna says “After years inside top-tier corporates and brand agencies, we saw a gap: small businesses and startups were struggling to find the right guidance, often wasting time and money with partners who didn’t understand their commercial needs.”

Brand HQ was built to change that. As a one-stop platform, it equips founders with the tools, strategy, and support to take their business from idea to 7-figure success. The team has helped countless small businesses become market leaders and are driven by supporting women no matter where they’re at in the journey. Women are launching businesses at record rates, with female founded startups growing at over twice the rate of male-owned ones in many developed economies.*

“Through our own agency businesses, we came across a number of women, very similar to us, who wanted to make a change but didn’t know where to start, who to speak to, or how to make it happen.” said Lizzy. “ Both Anna and I have been there and know how tough it can be, having faced similar challenges when leaving corporate to start our own businesses. We wanted to make it easier for others to navigate that path.”

Tailored to meet the needs of entrepreneurs, from those just starting out to those looking to scale, Brand HQ’s platform includes online courses, templates, 1:1 support and even ready made businesses for sale. As a trusted advisor for entrepreneurs at every stage, Brand HQ empowers them to build brands that they can launch, grow and scale.

Lizzy & Anna understand the unique challenges faced by women who are balancing family life with business growth. Only meeting five years ago, discovering they both had similar backgrounds, a coffee catch up cemented a business relationship which has seen them working together, to help clients build and scale their brands.

With more and more people wanting support, Lizzy and Anna found they needed to find a way to service smaller businesses and startups, in a more financially accessible way. Brand HQ brings together their joint expertise, as an online platform to support this growing segment of business founders, who can’t necessarily invest in top tier agency support.

Lizzy stepped out of corporate when her boys were small to better balance home and work life. “No matter what stage of life we’re at, we’re all juggling something. Whether that be family commitments, young children, aging parents, or just a demanding work environment. The world is changing and with advances in technology, it’s now much easier for people to start a business and work in a way that works for them, and replicate corporate salaries more easily.”

Brand HQ’s approach brings large-scale agency thinking and strategy into reach for small and growing businesses.

“Helping female founders is at the heart of what we do,” says Anna. “We believe in the power of women supporting women. The flexibility of our platform gives founders flexible access to expert knowledge, when it works for them.”

As Brand HQ expands its services into the UK, USA, and Australia, they welcome founders who need a little support in launching, growing, and scaling their businesses.

Positioned to become a global leader in empowering female entrepreneurs, Brand HQ blends smart strategy with heart – delivering big-picture thinking, tailored for small business realities.

That’s the Brand HQ difference.
