Approach

What does brand-led strategy look like?

Well, it makes sense to introduce you to my signature framework for building enduring brands: The Brand Codex©. It’s based on common strategy theory that suggests you need 3 core components: understand the problem to solve + create a framework to operate within + build a plan to execute.

It’s strategy, but filtered through ‘brand’…

No matter where you’re at, this is the framework we use in our work to help you achieve your goals. This approach to strategy means…

You’ll unlock your unique and distinct advantage – and be able to communicate that.
Your strategy is empathy-based, so you forge greater connection and rally folks internally and externally
Is commercially robust, setting you up to achieve an articulated vision.

When you have brand strategy as your foundation,
you have the path to follow to achieve your vision.
It becomes a blueprint for your business.

Without it, your marketing efforts are a bit like building a house without a plan.
Disconnected, chaotic and not creating long-term, enduring equity.

Your brand is an asset worth investing in – so let’s get it working for you, shall we?

Brand-led strategy is right for you if any of this resonates…

You haven’t been able to find or articulate your competitive advantage
You are not clear about where your brand ‘fits’ – and how your brand should ‘speak’ and ‘act’
You sort of know who you want to attract, but only have surface-level insights about them
Don’t have a strategy or actionable business plan
Have tried some marketing before, but it hasn’t worked – you may even ‘hate’ marketing… it’s ok, you can say it
You need an objective pair of eyes to give you guidance you need to hear, not tell you what you want to hear
Have either some in-house junior marketing capability, or none at all

How I work

01.

Remote-first, highly engaged

I’m based in Tasmania and work with 95% of our clients remotely (some I’ve never even met in person!).

This hasn’t stopped me from building strong, long-term relationships.

While I occasionally travel for key engagements such as full-day workshops, I’m always mindful of ensuring the best value is gained from in-person meetings.

02.

Flexible, but always reliable

I don’t operate on a traditional 9-to-5 schedule because years of experience have shown us that strategic thinking thrives with space and balance.

That said, I take my commitments seriously.

If I say I’ll deliver something by a deadline, I will. And if circumstances change, you’ll always hear from me ahead of time.

03.

Consulting and collaborative

I partner with my clients as an independent advisor, bringing objective, strategic expertise shaped by decades of experience to guide your team toward strategic and commercial solutions, while building your internal capabilities.

04.

Clear communication, no guesswork

We will communicate primarily through email, phone, and planned video calls. This ensures discussions and decisions are easily referenced when needed.

Text messages are reserved for urgent logistics only – this helps keep conversations structured and trackable.
