The Brand Stylist Academy

If you're about to create a brand or rebranding, stop everything before you start requesting services from everyone, and take these 3 courses and pay all your attention to them first (clarity, vision and direction). They're going to make all the difference, they're going to make you understand the whole process that involves creating a brand and saving a lot of money on experiences that will eventually leave you in the same place you started. I wish someone had told me this before.

I recommend everyone who wants to start a brand, who take these courses first. I'm sorry I didn't because I would have saved a lot of money trying things out on my own. Thank you Fiona for teaching us all this and more.

It was so inspiring to follow the Brand Vision Course from Fiona Humberstone. It looked beautifully styled. That gave me so much energy. And every time I see her fantastic photos in the course and on social media (a big compliment to the photographers she works with), her relaxed appearance in her video's, audio & stories (you always shine) and the entire style of your brand, that makes me so happy! It was a party to follow your course. So much learned, so clear what I stand for with my photography. Which direction I am going. Who my ideal customers are, what my brand should look like. All thanks to the Brand Vision course. And your feedback was so clear! I will continue with the Brand Clarity, Design for Go-Getters course and The Naming master class. I start next week!!! A BIG thank you for your fantastic 'Brand Vision' course. Kind regards, Krista Brockbernd Brockbernd photography The Netherland

Fiona is a master teacher, an educator whose offerings elevate, inspire and enrich. I'm an independent musician in Ottawa, Canada, and I take every course and read every publication Fiona offers. Even if I think a course might cover something I've already looked at I take it still, knowing I will gain a richer understanding of that subject and so much more. Fiona is just one of those very special teachers that I want to learn from again and again. If Fiona is offering it, I'm in! I am STILL in love with my intentional mood board from Brand Vision. I feel like it's part of my creative process - the incubating stage, before I write songs. I've created mood boards for this purpose before, but this one is the clearest yet- my heart soars when I see it - and thus it will become the most inspiring for me, on every possible level. The board was so fun to put together and has concrete results personally and artistically for me. It's inspired my latest clothing purchases, and in fact I've now met and connected with the woman who makes and is wearing pieces that I had pinned. This designer equally likes my music! What a beautiful connection to make, and through Brand Vision. Because of the clarity that is the result of Brand Vision, and building on the clarity I've gained, layer by later, through every other Brand Stylist course and publication, I am honing my vision to crystal clarity. I can identify in a snap what makes my heart sing, and then move on that right away with confidence and joy. When I have this much clarity, it makes sense that the people I find and reach out to are going to relate to my work as well. And now that I think about it, I think that actually the Brand Vision mood board will be the starting place for my next set of songs. How obvious! Brand Vision has clarified my next artistic step! Thank you Fiona! Perhaps once I've finished changing over my wardrobe I'll concentrate on taking a course in person! Imagine what a dream that would be!

Brand Vision course was such a beautiful learning experience, full of interesting tips and hints. Needless to say, I adored how beautifully it has been styled in terms of visuals and videos. Actually, I enrolled in this course having already my creative vision more or less clear in my head. However, what was a great learning benefit I gained from Fiona’s Brand Vision course, was the fact that thanks to all words Fiona uses for labelling every single aspect of any creative vision, has enabled me to understand, why I chose the particular patterns, colors eventually type...Basically, the Brand Vision course just made me feel to be able to name specifically why I like the things I like. Thanks a lot! :)

I so enjoyed the Brand Vision online course of Fiona’s. It was so thorough, informative and really got the creative juices flowing. Fiona really knows her subject. It’s given me the clarity and inspiration to take my brand to the next level! I would highly recommend. (...and the fact that it was shot in my home made it all the more special ;)) Thank you Fi, X Lauren (@thela_edit and @atnumber16)

Honestly I have to confess that I am always a tiny bit sad when I get to the end of one of Fiona's courses. I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! I am a HUGE fan of Fiona's teaching. I love her aesthetic, I love her teaching style, I love these courses and I recommend them whole-heartedly. Fiona has become one of those teachers for me in the category of: if you're teaching it, I'm taking it. I feel like I could watch each course again and again and benefit more and more every time. And that's exactly how I use Fiona's resources now, years after I found them initially. I review them, to tweak, to refine, to continue to grow. Together, Fiona's courses have help me get right to the heart of what I have to offer audiences, and then they teach me how to communicate exactly that to the very people who will enjoy what I'm offering. It's a total win, every time. What makes this hard for a musician, for any creator I imagine, is that in order to make what you make in the first place you have spent so so long focusing inward, honing your creative voice, that it is really challenging to talk about your work. But Fiona helps you ask the questions of yourself, of others, that lead you to a really clear understanding of who you are, of what magic you bring (yes, YOU! YOU bring magic!), and she then leads you to express that to others in a way that inspires, connects and elevates! THE WHOLE PROCESS IS SO FUN! Inspire, educate, clarify connect - at the heart of Fiona's teaching is inspiration, creativity, connection - the benefit of being able to better express what my music is about from the audience's perspective is such a win for communication, for community, for connection. These are rich courses that feed my artistry and teach me about entrepreneurship in equal measure. I just can't say enough about them and I can't recommend them highly enough! My artistry comes from a desire for self-expression. My performing life comes from a desire to connect. It's pure gold for me to find someone who is able to combine these paths in a way that helps me make it clearer and clearer to communicate how my music will feel, how a concert will feel. And the more I learn, the closer I get to the heart of what I'm doing, and the better I am able to reach the people who will enjoy my music and as a result, I continue to grow that community from a very genuine place. Thank you, again, Fiona!
