Introducing LAUNCHPAD

 

From Personal Story to Brand Impact.

 

A branding and visibility experience for emerging talent, creator-founders, and brand ambassadors - powered by storytelling, strategy, and activation.

Created by Marc Maley & Grace Andrews

LAUNCHPAD is a bold, future-facing learning development programme, with our Secret Sauce.

 

Rooted in Marc’s global entertainment storytelling experience (Harry Potter, Marvel, Disney) and Grace’s work with brands like Diary of a CEO and Flight Story, our collaboration unlocks confidence, clarity, and visibility for the next generation of professionals, creators, and culture builders.

We combine immersive 1 day sessions with modular playbooks and frameworks that blend identity, storytelling, and activation - all purpose-built for the modern world of work, influence, and personal growth.

It’s not soft skills.
It’s not generic personal development.

It’s the strategic tools, story frameworks, and content that help future-facing talent show up with purpose.

Why It Matters Now

 

The world of work, influence, and visibility is shifting fast, and the next generation is navigating it without a roadmap.

 

Future talent is craving identity, visibility, and impact

Companies need confident, self-aware early-career talent

Organisations want authentic brand ambassadors from the inside out

Creators are becoming founders - but lack strategic narrative clarity

 

LAUNCHPAD bridges all of that - with energy, credibility, and depth.

LAUNCHPAD.
