Together, we build brands that stand for something, and move people to act.

I’ve spent the past 20 years leading strategy for everything from global brands to food startups, energy companies, and EU-funded innovation projects. I do work from strategy to creative campaigns- all grounded in business strategy.

What I offer:

- Strategic brand consulting for companies that want to grow with purpose and make a dent in the world.

- Workshops and sprints that unlock alignment, clarity, and action

- Executive coaching for creative leaders stepping into their voice

- Team training for agencies and marketing teams who want to level up their strategic skills.

Who I work with:
The rebels, the rethinkers, the reimaginers.
Founders, creatives, and leaders who are done doing things the old way and ready to build brands that actually make a difference.

If that’s you, we should talk.🩷

Black Friday is everywhere right now. It's the biggest short term sales moment of the year.

And yes, it can drive a lot of revenue fast. But I think this is the perfect moment to pause and ask a bigger question:
What does this do to your brand long term?

Because discounts will give you a spike. They will also train your customers to only buy when you run a sale. I see some product have a sales for 80 %. It makes me question if the product is over priced. 

And if you are not careful, you end up building a brand that depends on urgency and price instead of meaning and value.

There is nothing wrong with running a Black Friday offer.
But there is a huge difference between a strategy and a reaction.

A strategy is when your offer fits your brand story, your pricing architecture, and your long term customer relationship.
A reaction is when you drop your price simply because everyone else is doing it.

Black Friday is a good reminder that every short term decision has a long term effect.
Do your discounts strengthen your brand or weaken it? 
Do they build trust or undermine it? 
Do they align with your positioning or contradict it?
I think I know the answer. 

My course Brand Strategy Fundamentals with The Futur is on a 25 % sales with all of their products. I support that because I know we have many followers in developing countries that save money to buy during this week.

So if you run a Black Friday deal, do it with intention.
If you do not, that can also be a powerful brand choice.

Let your brand lead, not the calendar.

What are your thoughts on Black Friday?

 Brand vs sales

People like to buy.
They don’t like to be sold to.

And they are way smarter than we give them credit for.

Most people create content as if their audience can't smell the sales pitch from miles away.  
But content is not advertising.

Today our Brand Rebels for Good community starts our 30 day content challenge.🥳
It is not about likes or perfection.
It is about voice, visibility and courage.

Everyone who posts for 30 days wins a one-on-one coaching session with me.
Value 750 euro.

Swipe the carousel to see the why and what behind the challenge.

Let's begin my dear Rebels! 🥳
