Account Manager @ Kurogo | Creating Industry Leaders through Personal Branding

I eat, sleep and breathe FMCG brands and pop culture.

And if I’m not doom-scrolling into the latest trend rabbit holes, I’m talking about it on LinkedIn.

The rest of the week, I’m an Account Manager specialising in driving strategic outcomes for clients through data-led insights and delivering high-impact marketing strategies.

To craft banging brand strategy, I:
👉🏻 Research (i.e. stalk) my clients and their industries until I know them better than they know themselves
👉🏻 Keep my finger on the pulse of what’s happening in their field
👉🏻 Genuinely root for them and their business 

That’s the mix I use for my clients, and so far I’ve achieved some pretty insane results across 20+ CEOs and Founders including:

- An inquiry from Dragon’s Den
- £700k angel investment directly attributed to LinkedIn 
- Features in podcasts, panels, publications

Ultimately, people buy from people.

Not dry, faceless brands.

Harry Styles is BACK!!

And his return shows the power of superfandom.

Last week, Styles dropped his next album announcement: “Kiss all the time. Disco, occasionally.”

No dramatic countdowns. Just some subtle teasing for the hawk-eyed fans and a jumpscare insta post were needed to immediately DOMINATE social feeds. 

All because his fanbase is anything but ✨casual✨. 

It’s devoted, connected, and ready to react, turning a simple album announcement on a random Thursday in January into a global cultural moment.

What does this tell us?

→ Loyal superfans amplify hype organically without the need for over-the-top, drawn out campaigns.

→ Scarcity drives excitement. Surprise drops turn single moments into shared cultural experiences.

→ Legacy and timing matter. Years of authentic connection set the stage for a moment that feels inevitable, and oh so satisfying.

Naturally, reactive brand responses came thick and fast over the weekend.

But my unexpected fave was NHS England reminding the girlies to book their cervical screenings, leaning into Harry’s comeback while connecting it to a real-world outcome.

(Someone give their social media manager a raise x)

What makes this announcement even more fun is how perfectly it ties to the January 2016 trend blowing up right now.

Fans are already leaning into nostalgia and teenage cringe, sharing throwbacks to their awkward, excitable, unpolished selves. 
And for many, this also connects to their original love for Harry Styles, adding another layer of nostalgia.

That’s superfandom, nostalgia, and clever timing in action, driving massive cultural hype.

For global organizations and ambitious professionals, the biggest risk today isn't invisibility, it’s lack of trust and a unique point of view. 

I solve this by building brand communications that turn complex business goals into trusted narratives.

Currently on a strategic sabbatical (deepening my expertise in AI-powered brand communications), I am targeting my next brand & communications role for mid-2026. I am available now for select speaking engagements and coaching.

My work lives where strategy meets soul. I connect corporate vision, creative execution, and human advocacy to drive growth and credibility at scale.

I lead global brand marketing, content, and strategic communications that turn complex narratives into clarity. 

From high-stakes M&A and IPO announcements to global campaigns, my goal is never just attention, it is coherence. I build the systems, stories, and voices that make a brand feel real in every channel.

My approach is both analytical and human. I use AI-driven insights to shape data-backed narratives, then bring them to life through Storytelling that feels instinctively authentic.

Beyond corporate work, I coach professionals and teams to build thought leadership that moves with intention. I help leaders build personal brands that are credible, clear, and strictly aligned with business goals.

Because the most powerful brands, whether personal or global, are built on the same foundation: clarity, consistency, and conviction.

My focus:

- Global Brand Strategy & Strategic Communications
- Campaigns & Brand Activation
- Thought Leadership & Executive Advocacy
- AI for Marketing & Innovation
- Human-Centric Storytelling

Mediocre writing is no longer just boring... It’s suspicious 👀 

Our radars are ON. People will assume it's AI-written and keep scrolling.

If you look at the list in this image, you’ll see the "tells." The words that don't signal AI, in my opinion, but a lack of effort. 

But simply deleting "delve" or "tapestry" from your vocabulary isn’t the solution. It’s just a band-aid 🩹 

But I have hope because there's a new opportunity. 

The rules for not sounding like a machine go deeper than grammar and syntax.

AI is designed to be agreeable, it'll be generic and avoid friction. 

But YOU're not that agreeable, are you? You have your own POV. 

To stand out now, you need to:

- Have a unique perspective that only you could have (no one needs to like and agree with you, and that's OK). You want to attract the right people, not everyone. 

- Be specific, anything generic is suspicious (and quite frankly, boring). 

- Be imperfect in your writing, you don't need perfect structuring and clear bullet points. Make it readable (no one wants long text blocks) but not perfect either. Find a middle ground. 

- And pleaaaase... Kill the hyperbole. "Game-changing" usually isn't. And there are too many masterclasses out there. 

To me, anything polished now feels fake (or anything starting with a 🌟🚀🎯🛠️ ), and "raw" feels trustworthy.

The old rulebook reigns supreme: you need to truly speak to a person (your audience) and stand by a perspective. 

Not everyone needs to like you. You need to be bold, unique, and true to your brand. 

What do you think?
