Bio
Evy van Weezendonk
I did the Brand the Change course while developing the concept for our Green Kids' Museum Kenya (an interactive fun children’s museum about the environment). Although the course is officially sold as a branding class, it's actually so SO much more. Anne’s class provided me with useful tools to define not only our audience and our positioning but also supported me to dive really deep into our core beliefs, redefining our mission, & vision. I left the course with a really well-defined company vision as well as a branding strategy. Anne was knowledgeable and supportive in translating the branding canvas to our specific situation. Anne is not only super smart, experienced, and competent but also just such an amazingly lovely person to work with.

Anne is a delight to work with. In 2019 and 2020, Anne worked with my team to develop an online branding course for social enterprises. Through this course, Anne shared her deep insights into the world of branding and communication for social impact. As a collaborator, she was quick, flexible, and generous with her time. Currently, nearly 4000 learners from social enterprises have taken Anne's course, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

I founded Brand The Change.org in 2014 after years of searching for ways in which branding could help accelerate social and environmental change in the world. That year, I set myself a challenge: how can I help create a world where a fair trade lemonade brand could rival a company like Coca-Cola? I experimented, iterated, crowdfunded and pitched our way forward.

That year, I set myself a challenge: how can I help create a world where a fair trade lemonade brand could rival a company like Coca-Cola? I experimented, iterated, crowdfunded and pitched our way forward. The result is Brand The Change.org an education organization that is building the ecology of support change-making entrepreneurs need to build strong brands. To date, we've trained over 2000 individuals, our products and services are used by thousands of change-makers in over 50 countries, and we have 35 independent trainers delivering our methodology. As the founder, I set the vision for the company, find customer insights and ideas for new products, develop content and lead our community of thousands of changemakers and professionals. I build partnerships with organizations like +Acumen, Adam Smith International, Amani Institute and the Digital Opportunity Trust to create custom tools and training programs that enable their learners to build their brand thinking skills.
