BOOK REVIEW
“I have been involved in marketing and running businesses my entire adult life, but I have never seen branding presented like Runa does. She takes branding to another level, the human, authentic level that speaks right to you. I warmly recommend her book, whether you are planning a business or already have one. It is easy to read, but forces you to think...”

TESTIMONIALS
“Runa Magnúsdóttir and Nicholas Haines encourage us to rethink the labels we give ourselves; I’m just a mum’, I’m not creative’, I’m unfit’, I’m quiet’, I’m responsible’ “When you raise your self-awareness, you build a world where you are accepted for who you are; where everyone has the freedom to be themselves, unlimited by classifications that don’t serve us.
Doing this has boosted my self-confidence. I feel I have explored who I am and what I stand for, and have become more fluid in other areas of my life”
