Imaging is the visual representation of an objects outward appearance.

Corporate imaging is the formation of a company image through the 
visual appearance and conduct of its staff.

// Change Management



When company changes are executed at a managerial or structural level 
within your company it can have a negative or a positive effect on 
your workforce, this in turn affects your corporate image in the same 
manner. 

When the process and effects of change within a company are not 
communicated in a clear, concise and timely manner it can have 
devastating effects on the morale of the employees and intern, 
productivity levels.

This presents various problems such as fear, anxiety, and loss 
of productivity amongst staff. 
By communicating these changes to employees in an open and 
informative manner an atmosphere of trust and goodwill is emphasised 
which is beneficial to all affected by the process.  
We assist companies during the change process to ensure that 

they maintain a good corporate image throughout the process. 
We  focus on easing the process of change for management 
and staff through a combination of coaching tools and psychology theory.

AnnaSophia Robb

"I think I was made to live in New York. I love it." - AnnaSophia Robb

// AnnaSophia Robb is definitely someone to watch in terms of fashion as she takes the reigns from Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in the new prequel The Carrie Diaries and she is definitely doing a good job so far. Sarah Jessica Parker, also known as Carrie Bradshaw, was infamous for her effortless style and elegance & grace and AnnaSophia Robb is proving that she is more than qualified to step up. Definitely a Style icon to watch out for in 2013...
