In connection with Bloody Good Period, Gabby Jahanshahi-Edlin co-founded Bloody Good Employers in 2019, a programme which offered education about periods and menopause to employers. It would go on to release a groundbreaking report on periods in the workplace and be named one of NatWest’s SE100 2022 Top 100 Social Enterprises in the UK. As well as wanting equality for those menstruating, she demanded equality in invoices. In 2019, she co-founded ‘More Than Money’, an online community to help people engaged in social purpose work get the pay they deserve.
Now a business brand consultant, Gabby works directly with founders and growing companies help create a distinct brand personality that people will talk about lovingly, even when you’re not in the room. Good branding is not as simple as just having a nice logo and a complimentary colour palette. Good branding means people will talk about you positively, and will be able to clearly understand what it is you offer. A good brand shows how much you value your employees, it represents you as a company, it aids the events you curate, and the products you produce.
