Founder, Sugarbird Marketing

Advertising / Marketing / PR

When Sugarbird founder, Janinne Brunyee, was thinking of a name for her new marketing company, she was inspired by the fauna and flora of her country of origin, South Africa, especially the industrious Cape Sugarbird. The hardworking sugarbird’s purpose is to pollinate the country’s majestic national flower, the protea. And what an important job that is. ​ The sugarbird challenges us to consider our own purpose. What is the single-minded focus that allows us to leave the planet a better place? This challenge applies to all, whether you’re a for-profit business, a nonprofit or an individual looking to brand yourself.
