(Newswire.net — July 15, 2014) Alameda, California — Unlike most consulting firms, Brandora, which is based in Alameda, California and launched by Adele C. Berry, combines the expertise of business consultants and the creativity of a branding agency to build profitable businesses and strong brands.

 

Brandora is one of the few local companies that helps entrepreneurs and business owners write a business plan, prepare for funding, tighten financial projections, organize daily operations, develop a marketing strategy to reach the target market, create corporate identity (such as a responsive web site with SEO, business cards, corporate collateral), and manage social media and online content—all under one roof.

 

Ted Thomas, owner of Zero Cool Studio, a Petaluma-based commercial photography studio, described his experience with Brandora as, “the best business coaching experience I’ve had.”

Brandora Collective’s all-female team is headed by Principal and Chief Strategist, Adele C. Berry, an award-winning creative director and experienced small business consultant. Ms. Berry states, “We act as consultants by solving problems for our clients, but we also serve as coaches by equipping entrepreneurs with the tools to solve their own problems.”

After collaborating with Ms. Berry to develop a growth strategy for his business, Mr. Thomas said, “Adele was right on target with her assessment of my business, and her thoughtful, thorough strategies have put me on a course to elevate my brand . . . Adele has a positive energy that is contagious, and she gets me fired up to achieve whatever tasks she has set for me.  She draws on a wealth of personal experience and connections, and provides insight that perhaps I knew was there, but was unable to articulate.”

Brandora’s core team (http://brandoracollective.com/about/) is comprised of four seasoned professionals who work with entrepreneurs through the start-up and long-term growth phases of their businesses. The Brandora team is unique in that they provide common sense consulting by trained and experienced pros who have also been entrepreneurs and business owners themselves. Altogether, Brandora’s team possesses over 75 years of expertise in entrepreneurship and marketing. 

 

Brandora’s Director of Business Consulting is Sheila Cunningham—a former Business Week editor and Wall Street stock analyst. Ms. Cunningham and Ms. Berry are both former business trainers at Women’s Initiative for Self-Employment, a beloved, national non-profit that fought poverty by building the entrepreneurial capacity of high-potential, low-income women.

Brandora’s web team boasts award-winning creative April Sunset whose official title is Web Diva. Deb Harrison, an art director, graphic designer, and illustrator rounds out the creative team as Brandora’s Design Director.  

To meet the diverse needs of San Francisco’s more than 50,000 small businesses and start-ups, Brandora offers customized, one-on-one business consulting sessions as well as consultant-led workshops for group training.  

 

Nicole Levine, former Executive Director of Women’s Initiative praised Brandora’s principal and the launch of the new consulting firm. “Adele is an extraordinary business consultant who helped hundreds of entrepreneurs gain the skills and confidence to grow their businesses into thriving enterprises. . . Adele’s clients often shared how she truly transformed their lives by providing valuable business insights and expert assistance with a direct, approachable manner. I am thrilled that Adele is continuing to help businesses flourish through Brandora.”

 

Brandora solves the modern business owners’ problem of finding a convenient branding and consulting solution that covers many bases for stretched small businesses.
