The 5-question audit
Five questions. One workshop. By the end, the room knows what you stand for, who you're for, and what you'll never do.
Brand strategy
Positioning solves the problem nobody admits they have.
Most marketing breaks because the strategy beneath it isn't sharp. The team can't agree on who the customer is. The website says ten things at once. Sales pitches sound nothing alike. That's a positioning problem — and it costs more than any media budget can fix.

The problem
Brand strategy isn't a logo. It's the sentence your customer can finish.
If your team can't all complete 'We're the only company that ___ for ___ who want ___' in the same words, you don't have a positioning. You have a marketing problem dressed up as a creative problem.
How I help
What you get
Positioning, written down
A positioning statement, three messaging pillars, a brand narrative, and the things you'll deliberately not say. Documented, defensible, deployable.
Architecture that scales
Master brand or house of brands? Sub-brand strategy for verticals or products? I've done both — and the wrong call here costs more than any rebrand.
Voice & visual brief
A written voice guide + visual direction brief. Then handed to design — yours, mine, or Quiamo's — for the visual roll-out.
How it works
Operating cadence
Discovery
Stakeholder interviews, competitor audit, customer research. Nothing skipped.
Strategy workshop
Two-day workshop with the leadership team. The hard conversations happen here.
Articulation
Positioning, narrative, pillars, voice. Written, debated, signed off.
Roll-out brief
Visual brief, messaging matrix, sales narrative. Ready for execution.

Common questions
Do you only do strategy, or design too?
I do strategy. I don't draw logos. I write the brief that designers — yours, mine, or Quiamo's — execute. This separation produces better work.
How long does a brand strategy engagement take?
6–10 weeks for a full sprint. Faster if scope is narrow (positioning only). I don't do six-month brand projects — they're usually three weeks of work stretched out.
What does a brand strategy actually deliver?
A positioning statement, brand narrative, three messaging pillars, voice guidelines, visual brief, sales narrative, and architecture decisions. Written, debated and signed off — not a 60-slide deck nobody opens.
Do you work on naming?
Yes — for new ventures, sub-brands, or product lines. Naming is a discrete project; usually 2–3 weeks.
What about brand refreshes vs full repositioning?
Different scopes. Refresh keeps the strategy, sharpens the expression. Reposition rewrites the strategy. The audit determines which you need.
