ABOUT ADRIAN D'AMICO

I help small to medium business owners with a clear online marketing direction along with motivation, inspiration and accountability.

With the success of many online strategies and personal branding utilising Social media sites like Facebook and YouTube in a real estate practice I owned for 10 years, a common question asked by other business owners was “How do you do that?” This was the catalyst to starting Social Media Breakthrough and later, the empower you academy and my Life Lessons TV YouTube show and podcast.

The difference I feel I have as a business coach is that not only have I learned key strategies that work in business, I’ve lived it. Having 10 years experience running a real estate practice, I carried with me all of my life lessons over to a consultancy & coaching business helping business owners and entrepreneurs utilize social media strategies to become recognised as an industry leader in their field so that they generate more income, reduce costs and create more free time but I didn’t stop there. Business & life has its challenges, challenges I’ve seen, been through, lived and overcome throughout my life and career, it was a natural progression to offer personal one on one and online coaching to inspire, encourage and ignite the passion in my clients to lead a quality, balanced life by their design.

Stacey Fisher is the founder and brand strategist at The Brand Architect and co-founder of Minnow Designs

Stacey is a Brand Strategist who is dedicated to helping growing businesses think bigger, increase efficiency and stretch their dollar further.

A classically trained strategic marketer Stacey has a decade and a half of experience working across big, market leading consumer brands including Panadol, Campbell’s Soup, Nicabate, Helgas, Wonder White, HarperCollins publishers and finally, Bourke Street Bakery. It was there, whilst working directly alongside the irrepressible owners of one of Australia’s most iconic foodie destinations, that a passion for building start-ups was born. It has lead Stacey to pivot her model and changed up her own ‘why’. Her personal mission is to reduce the start-up failure rate through the democratisation of quality, big-picture, strategic marketing.

Early on, Stacey turned a lifelong love of words into a Media & Cultural Studies degree and after a short stint attempting to get the gist of agistment at the Rural Press accidentally won a scholarship to study Commerce in France. She learned almost no polite French but despite the vanishingly low price of red wine at the local Carrefour she finished top of her class.

Stacey now spend her days building the big brands of tomorrow, including her own growing businesses The Brand Architect & Minnow Designs. An e-commerce enthusiast Stacey sold her flourishing starter startup The Adorn Collective in 2016.

A contented resident of Balmain in Sydney’s Inner West, she’s a coffee tragic who still gets a kick out of riding the ferry under the bridge.

A passion for words, a love of photography and an affinity for the digital space makes Stacey an excellent Facebook friend.

You’re likely here because you are a proactive business owner looking to take your next big leap with confidence. Welcome. The Brand Architect are a group of business expansion specialists with a passion for product who are committed to building the big brands of tomorrow.

A team of corporate escapees, we’ve all owned a business (or four) of our own. We blend big business marketing experience with small business expertise. And because we’ve worked client side building brands end-to-end, we can tell our P&L’s from our balance sheets and our trade & export plans from our experiential.

When we founded The Brand Architect we were clear that everything we did was to be grounded in the values of simplicity and service. We were fed up with jargon and complexity, with agencies and gurus attempting to convince business owners that marketing was magic. It isn’t.
It is our fundamental belief that marketing is nothing more or less than a conversation with people who you can help. We believe that consistent profit growth comes from having mutually beneficial, mutually enjoyable conversations with your ideal customer in ways that suit you and the way you like to work.

Creators of the Business Backbone Builder workshop series, we work alongside business owners to create a roadmap for steady growth, fuelled by genuine connection with your ideal customer and an authentic point of difference vs your competition. We help to clear through the clutter and step-change business performance. We can help you too.

The team is selected based on intelligence, inappropriate sense of humour and commitment to excellence. We’ve never worked with anyone who doesn’t appreciate every single client and empathise with the hopeful, terrifying and exhilarating journey they are on and we never will.

We work flexibly across time zones and will always buy you a beer when you’re in Sydney.

I partnered up with an agency and worked on a few of their brands, creating and implementing social strategies and straight away saw the power in it. Through social media I was able to help brands add value to their consumers’ lives, thereby creating passionate brand advocates and influencers.

My other passion was creating a business that would be an innovative and inspiring place to spend the day and work; somewhere where people could come to be themselves, use their skills, learn and work on projects they are truly passionate about.

For Zahrina Robertson taking photos is deeply personal. From the moment she picked up a camera as a child, exploring the beauty and simplicity of the world around her, she was hooked. Born into a home where cameras had pride of place, Zahrina took up photography as not only a way to make a living but as her way of making a difference in people’s lives. Inspired by her father, who was an amateur photographer, she was in awe of his ability to take every day things and transform them. Fast-forward to now, and her passion for photography and connecting with others is what sets her apart. For Zahrina, photography is not a job; it is an extension of her psyche and her heart. It gives back and feeds her soul by allowing her to tap into her creativity. Her gift behind the lens, coupled with her passion for personal branding, sees her create photos that have people saying ‘WOW’.

There is no ‘point and shoot’ in Zahrina’s studio. She doesn’t just do headshots; she is a maverick magician who makes people’s personal branding irresistible. The journey to creating an entrepreneur’s personal brand starts even before Zahrina picks up a camera. Her genius is in discovering people - helping them to really think about their brand, their business messages, how they can do things differently – and ultimately capturing their x-factor. Zahrina’s gift personifies the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. She understands that an image defines a person’s brand and believes that those first few seconds are vital, especially for 21st-century entrepreneurs. The image has to tell a story, to capture the heart and soul, and to engage the viewer so they see the ‘real’ person they are about to do business with.

As a keynote speaker, Zahrina’s authenticity is one of her greatest assets. She has the ability to take people with her every step of the way as she demystifies the complex world of branding – ensuring that they truly understand how to do it better, and the value of getting it right. Honest, funny and quirky, Zahrina leaves her audiences secure in the knowledge that she knows her stuff and that she has imparted valuable information to help them create razor sharp branding. Her wisdom and insights on how to use imagery to connect with clients see her regularly approached by the media and businesses who want to stand out and be noticed.

Zahrina has photographed international entrepreneurs including Ita Buttrose, Tim Ferris, Taki Moore, Matt Church and Dale Beaumont. She has also covered events featuring Richard Branson, Martha Stewart, George Clooney and stars of the music industry such as Dannii Minogue. Street smart, savvy and classy, Zahrina is a multi-award winning photographer and a Telstra Business Woman of the Year nominee. After a whirlwind five years she has expanded her business beyond Sydney into Brisbane and Melbourne, with plans for world domination.

A philanthropist and passionate campaigner, Zahrina loves to give back to the community. After winning the Commonwealth Bank Women in Focus essay competition, she travelled to the Northern Territory to volunteer for nine days in a remote aboriginal community with the Moriarty Foundation. Her journey ignited her desire to make a difference to the literacy levels within the Australian Indigenous community. The trip spawned a series of presentations and a children’s photographic book entitled ‘Zahrina and Tina’s Outback Adventure Book’, in which she shares her experience using both story and images.

In November 2014 Zahrina travelled to New York where she photographed celebrity Aviva Drescher from the Real Housewives of New York City, as well as other dynamic international entrepreneurs. While Stateside, Zahrina conducted workshops at the Australian Consulate and addressed New York networking communities on personal branding. This trip saw her expand her business internationally to include personal branding shoots in New York as well as her pre-existing photography studios in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. 2015 saw Zahrina win numerous international business awards, and 2016 Zahrina launched her new book - MAGNETIC BRANDING! - The Complete Guide for a Brand that Attracts! - available now online and in Dymocks stores.
