Reimagining Marketing
It was in the 1920s that marketing started linking products to images and symbols that would tap into our unconscious desires, persuading us that we could fulfil an inner void by buying more.
The outcome is the consumption economy and the catastrophic climate and social challenges we are now facing.
A century later, isn’t it time we used the power of marketing to create the change we want to see in the world?

Christina's StoryÂ
Â
Hi! I'm Christina Bouglass.
I spent 2 decades as a successful marketing executive building beauty brands in big multinationals.
Then, in 2021, after a toxic takeover from a private equity firm, the lack of values and purpose in my work led me to burnout.
As I closed the door on the corporate world and started an inner transformational journey to remember who I was without all the external labels, I came to realise that my own profession had a lot to answer for: marketing is not only designed to fuel never-ending growth but has also created the image of success we keep chasing.
So I started working on a new way to build and market brands.Â
One in which brands contribute to solving the world's biggest challenges, not accelerating them.
This is how my 4B Brand Model was born: Think BIG, Be BOLD, Act BRAVE & Become BELOVED.
Today, I support scale-up founders rise above the status quo to uncover the boldest, truest version of their brand - and give them the words, confidence, and strategy to grow with purpose and impact.Â
