LALO

I founded LALO, a brand strategy consultancy with a human-centered approach and methodology designed to provide strategic clarity and creative direction. This enables entrepreneurs to consistently lead and execute in alignment with their brand, unlocking significant momentum for their startups.

We facilitate a mindset shift towards clarity by combining expert facilitation, strategic insights, educational components, and brand management fundamentals. This approach gets to the core of the business, allowing us to understand, frame, and address the challenges startup teams face. By guiding them to embed brand-led thinking into their day-to-day practices, we ensure lasting impact and alignment with their vision.

Startups need compelling strategies to connect with customers and employees in meaningful ways, because people choose brands they care about — brands that make them feel special.

Our foundational philosophy is that leaders must be intentional
in every aspect of the brand from the inside out, as early as possible, to capitalize on the long-term potential of the business.

To achieve this, they must put people at the center of the brand and the brand at the center of the business.

We call it Epicenter™

"99% of startups fail". Want to be among the 1% that succeed?

Then you need to master branding, and I’ll tell you how ↓

By aligning everything and everyone behind a strategy that puts your brand at the heart of your startup and ensure all decisions are guided by it.

Did you know this about LinkedIn?

↓

Before we get to the numbers, a quick story.

LinkedIn is the app I spend the most time on.

It’s my digital HQ.

So walking into their Madrid office last week felt special.

The place where I “live” online, suddenly… real.

When I worked at Disney, people used to ask me with a dreamy smile, eyes glowing, and their hands as if wishing for something: 

“So… what’s it like to work in a Disney office?”

I could feel them imagining magic spells in elevators, talking pets in meeting rooms, and flying coffee cups around my desk.

So I can picture how you might feel right now hearing that I’ve been to LinkedIn’s office.

Yes. It’s pretty cool.

And, no. I didn’t see The Algorithm, sorry.

But I did learned this:

LinkedIn is not just a social network.

It’s 3 marketplaces in one:

1) Talent Marketplace: connects job seekers with hiring managers
2) Knowledge Marketplace: connects creators with audiences 
3) Product & Services Marketplace: connects buyers with sellers 

Three inseparable layers of our favorite digital lasagna:

We look for work. 
We sell our work.
We have conversations in the middle.

Right now, there are:

→ 1,300,000,000 user profiles
→ 69,000,000 company profiles
→ 42,000 skills declared
→ 14,000,000 jobs created

And in a single minute:

→ 5,000,000 profiles are changed
→ 17,000 connections are made
→ 50,000,000 platform fixes are shipped

A massive, mind-blowing powerhouse that started 23 years ago in Reid Hoffman’s living room, built to help people connect, share opportunities, and grow their careers.

And f*ck yeah it delivered.

Big time.

When I see a startup consistently applying the brand strategy we developed together 😎

Don’t treat your customers like Vecna treats Hawkins.

[NO SPOILERS BELOW]

Advertising tries to take something from you.
Branding tries to give something to you.

Yes. I know. 
It sounds exaggerated.
But the difference is important.

We don’t want to be chased by brands.
We want to feel understood by them.

Branding builds the relationship.
Advertising activates it.

You need both working together so that when you finally ask for something, you’re speaking to someone who already cares.

So, don’t be Vecna.
Build a brand they’d actually choose to follow, not run from.

Every startup thinks their brand narrative is clear.

Until they open their mouth…

After working with hundreds of founders, I’ve learned the friction rarely comes from one place, it usually shows up across the business, from the complicated issues to the (embarrassing) simple ones.

I’m curious to see where you struggle the most.

So I’m running a quick poll below.

What’s the hardest part of putting your brand narrative into practice?

→ Getting your team aligned
→ Turning your narrative into content
→ Keeping it consistent everywhere
→ Other (leave it in the comments)

PS: Your answer will help me shape upcoming posts and trainings.

What’s the hardest part of putting your brand narrative into practice?

I wish I could build a machine that gives you clarity with one click.

But hey… bad news, that machine doesn’t exist.

Most people want that instant “now we have a strategy” feeling, as if it were a button you could just press, but strategic clarity doesn’t happen overnight.

Strategic clarity can’t be treated as an event, a 2-hour workshop, or a 3-day strategic retreat.

It’s a habit that compounds.

It builds through daily decisions and alignment, and strengthens every time a team slows down enough to think, question, define, and choose.

It’s very rare to see a startup behave like that.

The way I see it, a startup without a strategy is like a small boat in the middle of the ocean without GPS, stormy weather, and a crew rowing in different directions.

A catastrophe in the making.

And I see this lack of clarity every week.

Here are a few examples of how I helped startups gain clarity:

A startup’s messaging was aiming at “anyone” in their sector, so we defined their four core target segments, divided them into primary and secondary, and clarified what to say to each.

They ended up spending less and getting better results.

Another startup had never mapped its category, sounded identical to competitors, they even used the same colors as the leader. So we defined a differentiated point of view to set the right context for the value only they could claim, and built an attractive, more distinctive identity to help them own their own space.

Prospects started to understand them better, and sales conversations started to move faster.

Two co-founders were giving two different versions of the company in every pitch, and their website and social profiles looked like they were from different companies. So we built one narrative the whole team could stand behind, and unified how the brand showed up everywhere.

They closed a big brand client right after.

None of this happened by accident.

And none of it happened without leadership.

It took full commitment from their leaders, months of research, deep dives, workshops, cross-function discussions, and lots of creativity and hands-on work.

And the best part was seeing these teams smiling, more motivated and energetic at the end.

Like a big weight was lifted off their shoulders.

This is the part most founders underestimate, the belief that a rebranding, a repositioning, the whole idea of investing in a better strategy is “for customers”.

But the reality is that it’s also an investment in their teams.

If you want a company that moves with confidence, clarity isn’t optional. 

It’s your job as a founder to make it a priority, a common practice, and visible at all levels.

And you know exactly which button to press for that.

It’s not the ON button.

It’s START.

Inconsistency quietly kills your traction.

It starts small, and it works in the background…

You say one thing on your site, another in your pitch, something else on LinkedIn, and a completely different story when someone asks what you do.

Nobody notices each mismatch on its own, but together they progressively erode the quality of your executions.

I’ve seen this inside many fast-growing startups at every stage.

You think you have one narrative, but you actually have many.

So I’m curious where your narrative breaks most often.

Quick poll below.

Where does your brand narrative suck the most?

→ Web page
→ Pitch and sales calls
→ Posts and content
→ Founder profile and interviews
→ All of the above

PS: Your answer will help me shape upcoming posts and trainings around this.

Where does your brand narrative suck the most?

Dear founder: THIS is HOW you recruit rockstar talent 👇 

Take note.

Co-Founder, Evidenza | Synthetic Research

We are hiring our very first marketer at Evidenza!

We are a team of 17 now, but we’ve waited a long time to hire a marketer.

It’s not because Jon and I don’t think marketing is important.

On the contrary, it’s because we think marketing is so important that we refused to let anyone do it other than ourselves. It’s where we try to spend most of our time, since brand is the deepest of moats. 

But we have reached the limits of our abilities as marketers, and the time has come.

We are searching for a "full-stack" marketer who can:

1)   Increase the mental and physical availability of Evidenza. 
2)   Scale distribution through paid advertising on LinkedIn.
3)   Turn founder-led thought leadership into a well-oiled content machine.
4)   Manage a sprawling network of vendors and freelancers.
5)   Teach us the dark arts of “conversion optimization.” 
6)   Learn at least three words in Italian.
7)   Use AI for literally everything.

I can promise you this: you will never need to prove the ROI of marketing here. You will never need to explain to us that marketing costs money. You will never need to tell us to make the logo bigger. You will never be treated like a sales-support function. You will exist at the cutting edge of marketing and the cutting edge of AI, at an (insanely!) fast-growing start-up.

Marketers who have never heard of the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute or Binet + Field need not bother applying. Sadly you won’t make it past the first interview question (“Have you read How Brands Grow?!”).

Doppio points for any alumni of Mark Ritson’s Mini MBA Program.

We’re also hiring more sellers, more engineers, and more researchers, BTW.

But the marketer will have a very special place in our hearts!

All roles are based right here in paradiso, AKA Brooklyn Heights.

Reach out or apply on our B2B marketing platform of choice, LinkedIn…
