[Sohn-derr] noun

The realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and intricate as your own — populated with their own ambitions, relationships, routines, and anxieties — an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you'll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, or as a lighted window at dusk.

Hi

We're Sonder, a London-based personal brand consultancy working with Founders, CEOs and Senior Leaders of businesses around the world.

Unlike other personal branding entities, we don’t quantify only vanity metrics as ‘success’, instead, we adopt a holistic approach to personal branding that achieves actual results in the form of strategic opportunities for our clients and their businesses.

From startups to Fortune 500s, we are defined by our ability to seamlessly integrate into a diverse range of often complex business ecosystems, providing value that far transcends personal branding, including full-service marketing and business development support.

Beyond the success we achieve for our clients, we are proud to create and shape narratives that define culture and affect meaningful societal change.
