Brand strategy

A clearer position.
A stronger foundation.

I help businesses create new brands and reposition existing ones — defining who they are for, what they stand for and why they matter.

Common questions

What is the difference between brand strategy and creative strategy?

Brand strategy defines the foundations - who you are for, your positioning and your point of difference. Creative strategy turns those foundations into campaigns and briefs. I work across both, so the brand and its expression stay joined up.

Do you work with startups as well as established brands?

Yes. I have created brands from scratch - including Mettle, RTGS.Global and Old Mutual Bank - and repositioned established ones such as Reebok. The process flexes to the stage you are at.
