How do you approach an Brand Strategy project?

It's important to get under the skin of the company, its key personnel, and the end customer - whether B2B, B2C or even B2B2C. We use a robust, tried-and-tested process - from orientation and discovery through to brand strategy (DNA) and creative. Our process is solid, but we flex it to fit the challenge.

How much does it cost?

Great question. Costs vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. It’s not global agency pricing, but it’s certainly a step up from offshore freelance rates - reflecting the depth, experience, and strategic value.

Do you work on your own or with others?

It depends. I mostly work in partnership with creative and brand specialists and we built a team based on the needs of each project. I have a trusted global network of Associates - some of the most experienced minds in creativity, brand strategy, architecture, and digital implementation.
