You’ve got problems. We’ve got solutions.

We started Ripple Impact with a simple goal: bridge the gap between talking about strategy, and actually executing it.

Our Story

Ripple Impact was born amidst a global pandemic.

While the whole world was locked inside their homes, we discovered, people wanted to rebrand, reposition or reinvent themselves entirely. They wanted their message to be aligned with their values and vision.

They just didn’t know where to start.

Clients were spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on business coaches, branding specialists and marketing strategists only to realize: there was no change in results.

It also wasn’t sustainable.

Thus emerged Ripple Impact – a collection of experts united by one goal: to help our clients go from vision to strategy to execution, followed by clear results.

So whether you’re a solopreneur, a business expert, consultant or a coach, we’re here to help you reach your rebranding, repositioning and reinvention goals.

And we won’t stop untill you’re happy.

Our Vision

Ripple Impact aims to equip its clients with the power to build, grow, and reposition their brands and business.

Our Mission

Ripple Impact provides hands-on creative and strategic support to guide our clients towards success.
