Brand Culture
Brand expression through your people
“TRUST DRIVES GROWTH… Now brands will need to operate at the intersection of culture, purpose and society.”
– ‘’Trust, the new brand equity’, Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report, June 2021 –
Our PURPOSE is to help people grow in confidence and contribution, through knowing their value.
We work with organisations on how their people connect with and communicate the company Brand, and how they build Cultures led by clear Brand messaging.
We know that strong Brand-Culture alignment creates internal professional confidence and external value and trust.
Developing a strong ‘Brand Culture’ leads to:
- HIGHER-PERFORMING TEAMS: Increased teamwork and motivation to achieve goals, solve problems and serve others, arising from increased confidence and belonging.
- ATTRACTING & RETAINING TOP STAFF: People want to be part of a positive brand and culture they can clearly see.
- NEW CLIENTS & BUSINESS GROWTH: Trust is built with a consistent, confidently-communicated, lived-out brand message.
- REPUTATION-BUILDING & RISK-MITIGATION: A pro-active, positive, visible brand echoed in company culture.
- A STRONGER CULTURE of purpose, commitment & confidence.
Do your INSIDES match your OUTSIDES? A practical approach to strengthen Culture and make it visible through your Brand
As principal consultant and presenter, NWC’s Managing Director Julissa Shrewsbury works with a close professional team to deliver Brand and Culture analysis, strategy, development, communication and education to clients Australia-wide and internationally.
Julissa has developed the Brand-Culture-Connection Framework to assist boards and leadership teams to assess and address how well the insides of the organisation match the outsides, in order to build trust and visibility. The framework measures how engaged and empowered team members are to lead the message of ‘Who we are’, ‘What we stand for’ and ‘The value we bring’.

Julissa hosted a session for our FINSIA WA Regional Council and it was outstanding. Julissa did a lot of pre-work to ensure her engaging and interactive presentation hit the mark and was able to draw out many great insights and learnings for us to utilise, as we continue to improve our council. The greatest compliment is a referral and from the session, one of our attendees subsequently engaged Julissa to run a similar session with her direct team. Would recommend Julissa for your next team business strategy session.
