Light the Way for a Changemaker in 2025
Imagine stepping into 2025 with a brand that feels completely aligned with your purpose—clear, focused, and ready to connect with the people who need your work the most. The 2025 Brand Spark Scholarship is your chance to make that vision a reality.
This isn’t just about marketing—it’s about creating space for what truly matters: sharing your gifts, growing your impact, and doing the work you love.
Why This Scholarship Matters
Small businesses aren’t just businesses—they’re the backbone of our communities, driving innovation, fueling local economies, and making our world a better place.
But here’s the challenge:
- 42% of small business owners report feeling overwhelmed by the demands of running their businesses.
- Nearly 50% of small businesses fail within the first five years, often due to a lack of clear direction and support.
That’s exactly why we created the 2025 Brand Spark Scholarship. It’s our way of supporting the small business movement and empowering entrepreneurs to overcome the overwhelm, find clarity, and create sustainable, impactful brands.
“This isn’t just about growth—it’s about alignment, inspiration, and making space to focus on what truly matters.” –BeverlyCornell, Founder of BC & Associates Marketing

Real Stories, Real Transformations
The Brand Spark process itself is incredibly thorough and collaborative. Beverly takes the time to deeply understand your mission, challenges, and aspirations. She then weaves it all together into a clear, actionable roadmap. Each blueprint felt like a master plan for my businesses—simple to understand yet powerful in execution.
Beyond the branding, Beverly truly cares about her clients’ success. She acts as a partner, digging into the heart of your business and helping you see where you’re leaving money on the table or missing out on growth. Her ability to deliver clarity, confidence, and possibility is unmatched.
“I came into the Brand Spark Blueprint process feeling pretty confident about my business, but I quickly realized there were areas I hadn’t fully explored. Beverly’s insights were invaluable—she not only helped me see where I was already on the right track but also highlighted the importance of consistency in my marketing efforts. One of the biggest takeaways was the idea of being active in different Facebook groups where my target markets are present. This strategy opened my eyes to new ways of connecting with potential clients, whether it’s for family shoots, pet photography, or branding sessions. The suggestions she made, from refining my website to aligning my brand visuals, really resonated with me. I now have a clear plan to elevate my brand and connect more deeply with my clients. The Blueprint gave me the clarity and direction I needed, and I’m excited to implement these strategies. It was an incredibly helpful and eye-opening experience!”

“I had so many ideas floating around, and Beverly’s questions brought them all into focus and structure.”
