FAQ

Questions from professionals

Who can join brandkind?

We welcome experienced brand and marketing professionals who want to apply their skills to purpose-led work. Our community includes strategists, designers, writers, developers and marketers, with members selected based on experience, alignment and availability.

What do I get as a member?

brandkind offers the opportunity to apply your skills to meaningful work, alongside a community of like-minded professionals. Members can contribute through project work, coaching and capability building, with access to both low-bono and occasional pro bono opportunities.

How much time do I need to commit?

Participation is flexible. Projects are scoped to match availability, with some members contributing a few hours a month and others taking on larger roles. You can engage in a way that works for you.

Can I recommend a friend?

Yes. We value thoughtful referrals. Prospective members are invited to attend an introduction session and go through a short process to ensure alignment with our community and ways of working. Please have them read through our FAQs, and apply to join the Community via the form.

What if I can't find time to work on projects?

There are other ways to contribute, including mentoring, delivering masterclasses, supporting events, or connecting brandkind to organisations and opportunities within your network.

How many members do you have?

We have a growing community of active members, supported by a broader network of brand and marketing professionals across Australia, Canada, and beyond.

How much are low bono fees for professionals who will work on projects?

Lowbono fees are half of market rates. Before we send a quote, the fees are discussed with the team and confirmed. Therefore, changes in the team members may also change the final quote sent to social enterprises and purpose-led organisations.
