How I help

Five ways I can move your business forward.

Each one is backed by work I’ve done at brands like Nike, L’Oréal, Danone and McDonald’s. Each can be a single focused piece of work or part of a bigger project.

Brand positioning & proposition

Get clear on who you’re for, what makes you different and why customers should care.

  • Target audience definition
  • Value proposition
  • Messaging framework

Where I’ve done this

Consumer & category insight

“We’re not sure what customers really think, or where the gaps are.”

Understand your customers, assess the competition and find the opportunities worth pursuing.

Innovation & new product development

Decide what to launch next and move it from idea towards market.

Buyer pitches & investor storytelling

“We have a buyer meeting or fundraise coming up and our story isn’t strong enough.”

Communicate your opportunity with clarity and conviction.
