Our Story

JBannister Branding  is a Personal Brand and Business Development Consultancy. We specialise in teaching career women how to design service based products, launch expert led businesses and position themselves as thought leaders and industry voices.  Our journey began in 2016 after I returned to Trinidad & Tobago from the UK where I completed a second master’s degree. Back then, I was under the illusion that more degrees meant more opportunities and money. I couldn’t be more wrong! The job market was straight up abusive to me. Despite what looked like a stellar resume, I just could not land any interviews. This meant I had to get creative to start generating income.

This is when I started using my 9 years of marketing communications experience along with those degrees I had in storage, to start creating content around personal branding. While I could talk the talk, walking the walk was a totally different story. I soon realised that simply creating content would not put money in my pocket. I had to start thinking like a business owner. 

As a career professional, who had always benefitted from the structure and strategy that a CEO had built, I now had to assume the role of CEO and create my own structure. And let me tell you, the learning curve was steep!  It took me years to grow comfortable with the idea of selling, not to mention, creating highly valuable products that could support my audience at different stages of their personal brand growth.

Many training courses, a pandemic and a breast cancer diagnosis later. The importance of taking action to not just own your story, but using it to bring you financial freedom, is paramount. Every trial, tribulation, training course and experience has value. I look forward to showing you how to extract the value of your skills beyond the structure of your job.  How to think like a CEO so you don’t sell you genius for pennies and most of all, how create the life you want by turning your personal brand into products for an audience that loves what you sell and pays what you deserve.
