Here’s Why We Are Doing This Survey

After analyzing the last 20 years of clients we’ve worked with, it became clear to us that we love helping second+ generation business owners transform their brands. Research then opened up a new and exciting world of family business. A surprise to us, because we hadn’t looked at the world through that lens before (but clearly not to those well entrenched in the space).

Our experience tells us purpose is more important now than ever before, and we have plenty of other ideas we want to validate and share with the market. There have been some great reports produced, but none answer these for us.

We need to go deeper for insights. So what better way is there than to conduct a survey to measure the collective pulse of multi-generational family businesses? We get to hear directly from you about your biggest challenges and priorities today in your business.

We get to understand you better, so we can serve you better, individually and as a collective. The opinion you share will make sure of that. It will become the report we share with the world. For that we are grateful.

Who We Are

The Sponge is an Australian Branding agency that opened its doors way back in 2001. We’ve been helping businesses transform and grow their brands since then, and learned first hand what it takes to build a brand.

After our purpose moment in 2015 we imploded the business and rebuilt it again as a purpose and values led organisation. Since then choosing to work exclusively with businesses that have a positive impact in the world (or the intent to do so with us), as well as an awesome product or service.

We specialise in helping second+ generation business owners rebrand with purpose. We love the aha moment when our clients’ realise they can be their good human self through their business and prosper on multiple levels. A recent rebrand helped our client double their revenue of from 4 to 8 mil in under 12 months.

We believe in walking the talk, so we’re proudly B Corp Certified and advocates in the good business community.
