Happy Month—no, actually, Happy Pride Summer. 🏳️‍🌈☀️

We’re proud to be a queer-owned and operated business. 🌈 Many of us on the team identify as LGBTQ+, and we don’t just show up for our community in June. We show up in our hiring practices, in the clients we choose to work with, and in the way we hold brands accountable.

For the past three years, we’ve run a paid ad campaign ahead of Pride to educate companies about rainbow-washing and pink-washing. But this year, our ads were rejected as “political/social issue content”. Frustrating? Yes. But it won’t stop us. ✊️

This spring, we launched something even bigger: a pro bono initiative to support trans women in business, in response to the UK Supreme Court ruling. 🏳️‍⚧️

The love and support we’ve received from the trans community has been beyond anything we could have imagined. We’ve already donated a full week’s worth of agency time to trans women-owned businesses—and we’re just getting started. 🧡

(✨Applications for our pro bono trans support programme remain open year-round at: www.ainoa.agency/trans-entrepreneurs ✨)

Even when big corporations scale back their DE&I campaigns, we won’t.
Even when Pride becomes “too political” for companies, we won’t stop speaking up.

To our community: we see you. We stand with you. We’re building with you. ✊️🔻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

📣 And to our clients and partners: we’ll keep educating, guiding, and holding you accountable—because real impact > rainbow filters.

🧠 What if a handwritten label could change how we waste food?⁠

In our latest project for a UK food rescue charity, we used psychology-backed design to spark connection, ownership, and minimise food waste.⁠

With labels people can personalise, the brand invites volunteers and participants to connect with what they create. And when people feel ownership, they’re more likely to value it and less likely to throw it away.⁠

✨ Purpose-led branding that builds belonging, one jar at a time.⁠

🥄 Whisked up something sweet lately? So have we, because Ainoa just turned *3 as an Ltd (and 5 since our founder decided “enough is enough” and started a one-woman rebellion)!

To celebrate, we handed our all-remote, all-women crew the ultimate cake-off: same budget, same “Celebrating You at Ainoa” theme, and zero limits on creativity. The results? A feast of flavours, a sprinkle of chaos, and a whole lot of heart—just like our journey 👩‍🍳

Swipe to see the cakes and peek into the stories that inspired each creation that make Ainoa, well… Ainoa. 🧡

Happy birthday to us-one of a kind, always extra, and never just another agency. 🎂🥂✨️

Dolls, divas, and all our beloved trans sisters—when the Supreme Court tries to dim your light, you SERVE IT BRIGHTER. When the law tries to erase your existence, we double down on your brilliance.

That’s why we at Ainoa are launching a FREE branding, business, and marketing support scheme for UK-based trans women entrepreneurs and trans-led non-profits. We’re offering our skills—brand strategy, visual identity, business coaching, social media magic, and more—to help you build, grow, and thrive, no matter what the system says.

✨ Want in on this glow-up?
👉 Head to www.ainoa.agency/trans-entrepreneurs to apply.

Tag your fellow girls, your sisters and partners, your whole group chat and media—let’s make sure every trans womanpreneur knows she’s got a team in her corner.

Allies: Don’t just wave the Pride flag—share this, support this, and show up for the girls.

Because no court can dull your shine. We’re here to help you serve, succeed, and stay unclockable.

We're switching off the laptops and switching on full chill mode from 18th to 21st April 💅 Because creativity needs rest, chocolate, and possibly a nap in the sun (if the weather behaves).

We’ll be back in action on Tuesday, 22.4. at 10 am UK time, recharged and ready to make magic. ✨️

Until then, soak up the long weekend vibes and treat yourself to something egg-stra sweet 🍫💛

Love,
Ainoa 🌼

What’s the real cost of putting your name on your business? 🤔

Naming your business after yourself can help forge authentic connections with your existing audience but might also curb scalability. 🙋🏷️

On the other hand, a distinct business name can adapt and flourish—but might miss that personal spark that truly resonates. 💼🏷️

💡 Here’s a tip for all new entrepreneurs and startups: Evaluate how your branding choice shapes both customer perception and internal culture. Think of your brand as a flexible outfit that fits not just you, but your entire future team and align your brand identity with your growth ambitions, not just your current vibe.

For a detailed exploration complete with tips and real-world examples, our full article has you covered.

What if your brand could do more than sell? What if it could inspire, mobilise, and create real change? 🌍🔥

Patagonia isn’t just a clothing brand—it’s a movement. A masterclass in purpose-driven marketing. Their social media doesn’t just promote products; it builds a community that fights for the planet. 🌱✨

Here’s how they do it (and what brands can learn):

👉 A Mission That Matters: Their social media isn’t about ‘what we sell’—it’s about ‘why we exist.’ Their messaging is clear: business should be a force for good.

👉 Campaigns That Challenge the Norm: Don’t Buy This Jacket wasn’t just an ad—it was a wake-up call. Their campaigns spark conversation, challenge consumerism, and inspire real action.

👉 A Community That Takes Action: Patagonia doesn’t just talk about change; they mobilise it. User-generated content, petitions, and activism make their audience feel like they are part of the movement.

👉 Real-World Impact: Their efforts have influenced policies, protected natural spaces, and redefined what brand activism looks like.

Want to see the full breakdown of how they do it? ‼️This is one of our MOST-READ and highest-ranking blog articles—check it out to see why. 👇️

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the power of women supporting women. 🧡💐⁠

In a world where creativity and leadership are often competitive, women are rewriting the narrative—by lifting each other up, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities for growth. 🌟⁠

At Ainoa, we believe that collaboration is the key to progress. When women support women, incredible things happen:⁠

Barriers are broken.⁠

Glass ceilings are shattered.⁠

Futures are built together. 💪⁠

To every woman who mentors, inspires, and empowers others: thank you. Your strength and generosity create ripples of change that transform industries and lives. 🌊⁠

This Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the power of togetherness. Tag a woman who has supported you, mentored you, or inspired you to keep going. Let’s honour the connections that make us stronger. 🧡⁠

Here’s to rising together and building a future where every woman thrives. Happy International Women’s Day! 🥂
