BRAND STRATEGY DESIGN
To continue business as usual companies risk becoming irrelevant. I help SME leaders de-risk and future-proof their business, by re-designing a unique positioning strategy, add new value to their clients and unlock their business for continued new growth and their potential to make a real and impact.
DESIGN YOUR WAY FORWARD
THE RULES OF COMPETING HAVE CHANGED
From the physical to intellectual.
From bricks, to paper, to concepts to feelings.
From within a companies control to outside it.
Meaning not money is the new currency.
– Marty Neumeier
PREPARE FOR
WHAT IS AHEAD
The world has changed fundamentally and with that your customers’ needs and behaviours have changed. This means that the assumptions on which you could previously predict stable growth may no longer be valid.
Learn from the current insights and together we re-discover what new value you can offer, who your ideal customers are and how they will sustain your business.
CLAIM AND DEFEND
A UNIQUE POSITION
The overcrowded market has accelerated like never before. Claiming a position with a niche product with better features, lower prices, faster delivery etc. will no longer give you a sustainable advantage as those will be met by the competition over time.
Cut through the clutter and truly outmanoeuvre your competitor, by discovering what only you can offer that nobody else can.
ADAPT FASTER
AND GROW
To thrive in a continuously changing landscape, you need to be flexible and able to come up with creative ideas to adapt fast.
Get the tools to be more innovative and learn how to grow your business by creating focus and alignment front to back, inward and outward. Because when everybody knows what to strive for, you can spot change early and adapt faster.

ABOUT ME
I started my own business already at the age of 19, creating a new category with a niche service that didn’t exist yet, but served the needs of an increasing number of consumers.
Looking back, my career after that first entrepreneurship has taken many different zig zagging turns as I simply wasn’t focussed on one single result and without any long-terms strategy I simply reacted to whatever crossed my path.
In my former job as a Senior Bid Manager I learned the alignment of those focused inward and those focused outward to achieve a winning customer focussed proposal for clients.
BRANDING STRATEGY HAS THOUGHT ME HOW TO HELP ACCELERATE YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH THE POWER OF DESIGN, INNOVATION AND CREATIVE TRANSFORMATION
The urge to be more creative made me quit my corporate career at age 32, go back to school and start a new career as a designer.
However through the years my frustration grew as design projects rarely had a strategy behind them. I experienced that a branding strategy to most, was merely a logo, some matching colours, a website and maybe we even distilled three core values, which nobody really lived up to after launch.
I WANTED IT TO MEAN MORE, IMPACT MORE AND CREATE MORE VALUE.
The year before the pandemic I discovered how to utilise the extended variety of experiences I have gained over the years, to help others.
By re-examining who I am, what new value I can offer, what the world needs, I have re-designed my business model and offering during the pandemic.
I decided to help other entrepreneurs and SMB leaders with BRAND STRATEGY & DESIGN. I went back to learn more about brand strategy innovation and read everything I could on what it takes to create resilience and future proof your business for the new now.
CONNECTING THE DOTS
To be a good Brand Strategist requires business skills and insight. Creating new strategies requires one to see the intangibles and connect the dots. My zig zagging career path has taught me a unique combination of commercial and creative skills. And with this unique skillset I wish to help others create a unique and memorable place in the market
I have since qualified as a Level C Brand Strategist, certified by the acclaimed brand strategy Marty Neumeier. Marty has provided consulting services to companies the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Skype, Twitter and Patagonia and has written several best selling books such as The Brand Gap, The Brand Flip, ZAG and The Designful Company. Today Marty is Director of CEO Branding at Liquid Agency and has founded Brand Education Program Level C together with his partner Andy Starr.
In addition I am currently working on my Brand Architect accreditation.
