A branding community
for the social enterprise community.
We’re on a mission to complete 1,000 kind brand projects in 10 years.
Collaboration is key to driving meaningful, lasting change.
Branding community
At brandkind, we believe in the power of purpose-driven branding and marketing to communicate impact-driven messages.
Our professional network is dedicated to supporting social enterprises through branding, shared expertise, and driving the success of socially-driven enterprises with proven effective branding and creative solutions.
We sometimes call ourselves ‘talent philanthropists’. Through our ‘low-bono’ approach, we focus on building brands with purpose and amplifying social enterprise voices.
“Branding has never been more needed yet under-utilised and under-resourced in the world of for purpose organisations”.
– Cindy Carpenter, Chair of The Bread & Butter Project
Social enterprise community
We are a social enterprise helping other social enterprises and for purpose organisations.
We thrive in helping social enterprises who in a nutshell, are businesses for good. They are purpose-driven organisations who exist to deliver impact for people and the planet.
But many of them do not have the enterprise insights, resources and know-how of the for-profit sector.
Our mission is to create brands which will engage the broader community and ultimately, help achieve the sector’s vision of a future where buying from social enterprises and ‘for purpose’ organisations is ‘business as usual’.

Frequently asked questions
What is brandkind?
We are a community of brand and marketing professionals who give our time and effort in helping social enterprises add value to their company through marketing through pro bono or low bono projects.
How do we work?
At brandkind, we start by understanding what your organisation needs—whether it’s brand strategy, design, marketing, or digital support. Then we build a tailored team from our 70+ strong community of purpose-led professionals. We scope the work clearly, focusing on what will make the biggest difference.
Throughout the project, we collaborate closely with you to ensure the outcome truly reflects your mission. When we wrap up, we leave you with the tools and confidence to keep moving forward.
Register and we will get in touch with you on how you can be part of this community.

What’s this pro vs low bono?
brandkind’s pro bono service is all about helping good causes shine. It offers free branding and marketing support to social enterprises that are making a positive impact on communities and the planet—especially those who may not have the budget to access top-tier strategic and creative help.
Our low bono service is similar in spirit to its pro bono work—supporting social enterprises doing good—but instead of being free, it’s offered at a significantly reduced rate.
On both services, we do ask for a small admin fee to help us keep things running smoothly.

How are you able to give low rates?
Thanks to a community-powered model that blends generosity with professional rigour.
brandkind is made up of a volunteer network of experienced strategists, creatives, and marketers who are driven by purpose, not just profit. Many of them donate their time, or take on work at lower-than-usual rates, because they believe in the causes brandkind supports.
That’s how we can offer seriously good work at a seriously kind rate, without cutting corners or compromising quality.
How much does this cost?
brandkind offers low bono support to social enterprises—carefully scoped, high-impact work at a significantly reduced rate. The team prioritises what will make the biggest difference in the shortest time. There’s no fluff—just smart, strategic creative that delivers impact.
Pro bono support is given to select social enterprises, through our Probono Pitch Night happening 3x a year in different locations. With a small admin fee, we cover project setup and coordination.
Both models are built on mutual respect, shared success, and the belief that good brands deserve great support.
Why do you give low rates?
We offer low rates because we believe purpose-led organisations deserve access to great branding and strategy—without breaking the bank. Our community of professionals is driven by impact, not just income, and many generously offer their time at reduced rates to help good brands grow.
By keeping fees low and scoping work smartly, we make high-quality support more accessible while still respecting the value of everyone’s time and talent.
What is brand and marketing?
Brand and marketing effectively communicates the brand’s product and services to its existing and target customers.
With so many established companies right now, a successful brand identity will give our social enterprises a head start enabling them to sustain their business and pursue their cause.
Do you make logos and taglines?
We do more than that, we support organisations with brand strategy, logo design, taglines, and full visual identity systems – even naming! Whether you’re just starting out or refreshing an existing brand, we can help you craft a look, feel, and voice that truly reflects who you are and what you stand for.
It’s not just about a pretty logo—it’s about building a brand with meaning, clarity, and confidence.
Do you build websites or manage social media?
Yes—we do! Our community has grown 70+ strong, and with that, so has our capacity.
What started with brand strategy and identity has now expanded to include social media, website design, photography and videography, and even grant writing support. With such a diverse and talented group, we can tailor the right team for each project—matching your needs with the skills in our network.
