Collaborations

Meet the Four Businesses in the 2024 Kip&Co x Global Sisters Coaching Program

When brands that share a common vision come together, truly remarkable things can happen. This has been our experience through our collaboration with Global Sisters.

We’ve been fortunate to partner with four inspiring businesses from Global Sisters Community, we’re so grateful to share what we’ve learned along the way. Through tailored coaching, hands-on workshops, and plenty of one-on-one support, these powerhouse participants tackled challenges, fine-tuned their business models, and uncovered new opportunities for growth. From media planning to branding, market positioning, and customer insights, we’ve focused on equipping them with practical tools to drive real, lasting success.

It has been a privilege to work closely with four extraordinary micro-businesses and the women behind them  - Louise, Jedess, Carla, and Alexi, helping them enhance their strategies, sharpen their marketing efforts, and optimise their business models. Their progress has been nothing short of inspiring, and we’re incredibly proud to see their ventures thrive. But beyond the business achievements, this collaboration is about fostering lasting change, empowering women, strengthening communities, and inspiring future generations to dream big and step forward with confidence.



This partnership has demonstrated the true value of collaboration. It’s about much more than offering support—it’s about fostering meaningful relationships and building a strong network of women who are ready to take charge and carve their own paths. It is a true testament to the magic that happens when purpose-driven businesses join forces to create social and economic change.

“The program has had a significant impact on shaping my vision and goals for the future of my business. The insights into effective branding, market positioning, and sustainable growth have encouraged me to refine my long-term strategy. I’m now focused on building partnerships, expanding product lines that reflect Indigenous art and culture, and creating a strong, cohesive brand narrative that resonates with diverse audiences." - Jedess, Jedess Hudson Art



What’s been most exciting about this collaboration is the strength and impact collaborations can bring. With both Kip&Co and Global Sisters supporting each other, we’re eager to see how women-led businesses continue to grow across Australia. 


"I feel more prepared for the future and inspired to refocus on my business with renewed energy and purpose." - Louise MacDonald, Brisbane Weaving Company 



As a solo business owner, sometimes all you need is a push to believe in what you're doing. This initiative helped me brainstorm fresh ideas, work through challenges, and identify both my strengths and areas for improvement. Having that kind of backing is priceless.” - Carla Risco, Tree Kid



The entire program was incredibly valuable. Kate, in particular, was outstanding. She took the time to really understand my business and guided me in making small but impactful changes. The hands-on, practical support made all the difference. The program has now created a clear path for me to open up a new revenue stream and shift the focus of my business towards entering the wholesale market."  - Alexi Fink, Vera Fleur Prints



As Kip&Co and Global Sisters continue to work together, we’re excited about the future. Our partnership is paving the way for a new generation of women who are ready to excel, disrupt the status quo, and make their mark. And this is just the beginning!
